If you're out fishing for trout this summer, it's important to consider the effects of hot water on our trout populations and how we can help them survive and thrive.

Below are some handy hints on increasing your chances of success whilst also protecting our wild trout from the effect of the extreme summer heat.

𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘄𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘁: Using a landing net minimises handling and allows you to keep the fish wet while unhooking. If practicing catch and release, this gives the fish the greatest possible chance of survival.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿: Limit your fishing between the hours of sunrise and 11am whilst the water is still cool and the trout are not under stress. As the water temperature increases above 19 degrees celsius during the day, trout will cease feeding and find shelter in cooler water patches.

𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲:
💧12-14 degrees celsius – Optimal growth conditions. Trout will be actively feeding.
💧19 degrees celsius – Growth ceases and trout become stressed.
💧Greater than 24 degrees celsius – Trout are extremely stressed and potentially lethal. Avoid fishing.
