		The average length of a rainbow trout is 12-18 inches and the steelhead is 20-30 inches.
		Rainbow trout are one of the most highly prized game fish for anglers throughout their native and introduced ranges.
		Though the temperature tolerance of rainbow trout is from 32 F to over 70 F, their ideal temperature range is between 55 and 60 F. They are found in fast moving water, often at the head of rapids or strong riffles, under vegetation and around rocks, fallen trees, or other structures.

		Trout can be caught on just about any kind of artificial lure, including dry flies, wet flies, spinners, and spoons, as well as on live bait such as minnows and worms.
		The presence of trout is, and has been for many years, used as a measure of water and habitat quality by DEC when making decisions regarding permitted land or water use.

		Rainbow trout are a deep-bodied, compressed species of fish, with extremely large sea-run individuals growing to 1220 mm and 16.3 kg.
		Rainbow trout are primarily a freshwater fish, although sea-run populations, often known as steelhead, exist in some areas.
		Fertilisation is external, with the female trout excavating a hollow in streambed gravel for the eggs to be laid in.

		In its anadromous or sea-run form, the rainbow is known as a steelhead and spends a sizable portion of its life in the ocean, or one of the Great Lakes, before returning to its native stream to spawn.
		On the average, a 2-year-old rainbow is about 8 or 9 inches, but in certain fertile lakes of the West, the species grows as much as an inch per month for the first two seasons, producing trout of 2 feet, and 7 pounds or more.
		A rainbow is an impressive fish, but a steelhead takes on the strength and power of a salmon, which when combined with the acrobatics associated with the rainbow becomes an awe-inspiring trout to say the least.

	The Extraordinary Rainbow Trout
		It is believed that Rainbow Trout, steelhead and salmon (all of the scientific Order of Oncorhynchus) use taste and smell to help locate the waters of their original spawning streams.
		Rainbow Trout are very sensitive to differences in ph, salinity and the differences in amino acids as found in their food sources.
		It is thought that the Rainbow may even have taste and smell sensors on parts of its body other than in the nostrils and mouth and that these may actually help the trout in locating its food.

		Rainbows are native to westerward flowing rivers along the Pacific coast from north of the Aleutian Peninsula, south to northern Mexico.
		Fortunately, rainbows are also popular with anglers, but for different reasons: first, they are generally easier to catch than brown trout, and, second, when hooked they are fiesty fighters whith an unusual (among trout) tendency to jump clear of the water two or more times before being brought to hand.
		Some rainbow trout are migratory, spending much of their lives in the ocean or one of the Great Lakes and moving into freshwater streams to spawn.

		Rainbow trout adapt very well to the hatchery environment and are disease resistant; thus, they are the most economical to raise.

	Trout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trout is the common name given to a number of species of freshwater fish belonging to the salmon family, Salmonidae.
		Trout are usually found in cool, clear streams and lakes, although many of the species have anadromous strains, as well.
		Because of their popularity, trout are often raised on fish farms and planted into heavily fished waters in an effort to mask the effects of overfishing.
