Rainbow Trout Description The rainbow trout is heavier and stockier than fontinalis; his mouth is noticeably smaller and his tail slightly forked. The rainbow's back is bluish; sides are silvery and belly white. The spots are black and cover the back, fins and tail, the spots varying with the different sub-species. A red or rosy band extends along the sides. While not as beautiful as the brook trout the rainbow is a handsome fish. Habitat In his native waters the rainbow lives in swift, cold water but transplanting has shown that he will thrive in fairly warm, deep and " dead " water although in most rivers he will show a marked preference for the rapids. |
