Rainbow Trout are a very sought after species of fish. They are found throughout many of the colder rivers in the country and are an awesome fish to catch. Rainbow Trout have a delicious, flaky, white meat that will leave you wanting to eat more and more.
These trout are targeted by Fly Fishermen for their great fights and acrobatic leaps out of the water. They are often found in mountain lakes that are hard to reach but have excellent fishing. I got to experience a taste of this amazing fishing when we caught over 50 Rainbow Trout in a couple hours while up in the mountains of Wyoming.
Strategies/Tips for catching rainbow trout
Rainbow Trout can be caught in a variety of ways. My favorite strategy is fly fishing for them. Other tactics include casting using small, shiny lures like spinners. You can even use live bait like worms or minnows to entice these trout into biting. In-Fisherman.com says, "Since trout can also be incredibly selective, if not downright picky eaters, the best lures and baits often mimic a specific type of aquatic meal or feeding opportunity"(Best Trout Lures.., 2017).
