The Different Types of Trout

By: Spence Talbots..

It goes without saying that there are a wide variety of fish you can focus on when you head out with your reel. It is undisputed, however, that the trout is one of the more common targets for most fisherman. Following is a breakdown of the different classes.

Trout are one of the more hardy and common fish you will find. There are a wide variety of types which we will cover, but they have common characteristics. They tend to have fins without spines and a small fin along the back near the tail area.

Trout also are found in general geographic profiles. These include lakes, rivers and streams that have cooler water. Given this broad definition, it is hardly a surprise that they are found in Asia, North American, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

The brown trout is one of the most common fish found. It is a freshwater fish, but variations have adapted to saltwater environments. The brown trout prefers covered areas and lots of oxygen in the water. It also prefers slightly warmer water than other trout.

If you love to use flies, the cutthroat is probably the trout at the top of your list. A variation of the salmon trout tree, it is found mostly in Canada and the northern US. The fish is so varied that it is difficult to describe it. Colors, size and characteristics vary.

The rainbow trout is a standard bearer in the trout family. It is a variety of the salmon, and has been introduced into over 45 countries. Rainbow trout are known by a red stripe on their side. They like cooler water and are excellent eating.

The rainbow has evolved based on its environment. The saltwater version is known as the famous steelhead trout, but that is not the only difference. Steelheads are much bigger on average and have no stripe on their side. All and all, an excellent game fish.

When it comes to fishing, there is something tempting about finding the biggest fish in a species. The mackinaw is the fish in the trout family. Found primarily in the Great Lakes, the biggest caught to date was over sixty-five pounds.

While the above represents a solid breakdown of the various trout you will run into, there is a far bigger selection in nature. Many of the species have different strains that have evolved over time, so look for the tell tale signs.
