Native to North America, Rainbow Trout thrives in the fast running oxygen-rich waters of clear streams and rocky rivers. Rainbow Trout's streamlined shape allows Him to swim upstream against strong river currents. People who fish for sport prefer Rainbow Trout because He puts up such a good fight.
In murky waters where the Trout cannot be seen, the iridescent rosy strip on His sides will take on a startling brilliance. Rainbow Trout that migrate to the sea are called Steelheads from the steely blue color of their heads. Reflecting the colors of the rainbow, He is beautiful. Learn how to be noticed from Rainbow Trout.
However, do not learn greed from Rainbow Trout. He is an aggressive hunter, feeding on insects and small fish. Wherever He is stocked, Rainbow Trout has a tendency take over the stream from Brook Trout.
