Trout by Kauy

Trout are a type of freshwater fish that live in cold rivers, lakes, streams, and ponds. There are many species of trout, such as rainbow trout, brown trout, and cutthroat trout. Some species of trout aren't really trout at all, and are actually char, a close relative of the trout. Examples of these fish are brook trout and bull trout. 

Trout have a varied diet that depends on the time of year. In winter, they eat insect nymphs and smaller fish. In warmer months, they eat insects off of the water’s surface. Big trout eat fish all year round. Big trout have even been known to eat mice. How can we preserve this wonderful fish? The answer to this question is simple. We can practice more catch and release, and take better care of our water systems. The most interesting thing about trout is their coloration. They are often very pretty, unique colors that are darker and richer during spring or fall, when they spawn.
