Salmon and Trout
Salmon and trout are
the most common
type of fish seen in
your local grocery
store.
Not only do they taste good, they are exciting to catch.
Salmon and trout are known for their stunning jumps
and powerful runs. The biggest salmon can weigh as
much as 100 pounds, however, some trout in streams
will average less than a pound. There are many
different species that inhabit all types of water.
Rainbow, brown,
brook and cutthroat
trout make up the 4
species of stream
trout. Although they
are called stream trout, they do inhabit lakes as well.
Lake trout and steelhead are considered open water
trout even though steelhead will make spring and fall
runs up the tributaries. There are several different
species of salmon ranging from the large, powerful
chinook to the small, scrappy kokanee salmon.
