OVERVIEW
HABITAT
Rainbow trout usually inhabit well oxygenated, shallow rivers with gravel bottoms; they also inhabit lakes, although they are usually found in deeper, cooler lakes with adequate shallows and vegetation for good reproduction. The ideal temperature range is 50 to 60 degrees. Lake populations generally require access to gravely bottomed streams to be self-sustaining.
FEEDING
Rainbow trout are predators with a varied diet and will eat nearly anything they can capture. They mostly feed on leeches, crustaceans, mollusks, insects such as flies, but also eat salmon eggs when available.
