Firetiger 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 In my country Brown trout is the native fish and Rainbows (and Brookies) are introduced stockies. Not hard to make a preference Though in fact my fish of choice is Grayling, the Lady of the Stream! J. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moscow 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 I'd have to say favorite is the cutthroat trout. The rainbow (in steelhead form) runs a close second. Tim Moscow, Idaho i was just wondering how many people like rainbow trout over any other trout? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voodoo 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 moscow had a good point. I like the huge gerrards rainbows (land locked salmon i think) but on the Bow river i prefer browns and out in the mountains and foot hills i prefer cutts and bulls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebanns 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 any trout is a good trout for me as long as it bites. but the bull trout are deffinatly one of the most exciting. especially when there latched on to a whitefish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scud 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 I'd have to say that native Brookies are my favorite. The colors on them are fantastic. We don't have cutts or bulls around here. Jeremy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Hat 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2009 For catching and releasing... our local Redband Rainbows...a high desert subspecies that is a little more temperature tolerant. For eating...the local kokanee (land-locked sockeye salmon) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Hat 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2009 It has always amazed me how the same species of fish can be so morphologically different just from watershed to watershed. The cutthroat you find in central Idaho (can't remember the strain) are also beautiful and so are the Sierra's Golden Trout. Both of these are a close second for me.
