Trout, both brown and rainbow, are often associated with old men in Tweed jackets smoking wooden pipes and casting fly gear more expensive than the family car. Sure, in some parts of the world this is still true, and you may be forgiven for thinking this is the only way to catch trout in streams.Â
Like them or not, introduced trout species from North America and Europe are here to stay, and these days they are fairly widespread in our southern regions. NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and even Western Australia have good populations of both brown and rainbow trout.
