Fishing
Rainbow Trout
The rainbow trout is a species of salmonid native to tributaries of the
Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. The steelhead is a sea run
rainbow trout usually returning to freshwater to spawn after 2 to 3
years at sea. The fish is sometimes called a salmon trout. Several other
fish in the salmonid family are called trout, some are anadromous like
salmon, whereas others are resident in freshwater only.
Rainbow Trout Feeding
FeedingRainbow trout are predators with a varied diet, and will eat
nearly anything they can grab. Their image as a selective eater is only
a legend. Rainbows are not quite as piscivorous or aggressive as brown
trout or lake trout. Young rainbows survive on insects, fish eggs,
smaller fish, along with crayfish and other crustaceans. As they grow,
though, the proportion of fish increases in most all populations. Some
lake dwelling lines may become planktonic feeders. While in flowing
waters populated with salmon, trout eat varied fish eggs, including
salmon, cutthroat trout, as well as the eggs of other rainbow trout,
alevin, fry, smolt and even salmon carcasses.
