Trout - One of America’s Most Popular Fish

Trout are one of the most popular fish among anglers in North America. The fish are known for putting up a good fight and are very delicious.

There are two main genera of trout: Oncorhynchus and Salvelinus. The two are distinguished mainly by differences in their appearance. Many members of the Salvelinus genus are classified as chars because they have cream or red-colored spots on their dark bodies and their vomers are boat-shaped. Members of this genus include brook trout and lake trout. Members of the Oncorhynchus genus have black or red spots on lighter-colored bodies and their vomers are flat. Members of this genus include rainbow trout and golden trout. 

Lovers of cool fresh water, trout are often found submerged under objects or in very deep pools. The cold tributaries of the Pacific Ocean on the West Coast are a great place to find the fish. They feed on insects, small fish, and crustaceans.
