(Big Bear Blogs)

Trout is a freshwater fish, it is related to salmon.Some trout such as Lake Trout usually live in freshwater lakes and/or rivers exclusively, while others such as the Rainbow Trout, sometimes referred to as the Steel head salmon, spend two or three years at sea before returning to freshwater to spawn.

Trout are a good food source for humans, bears, large birds such as eagles, and other animals.

Habitat
Many trout live in just a short stretch of stream. Trout need just a few basic things to survive: cold water, clean water, food to eat, places to hide from predators, and clean gravel to lay their eggs in. All the land around a stream that drains into a stream is called that stream’s watershed. Trout are affected by what happens in their whole watershed, because something that happens on the land can change one of those things they need in their stream habitat.

Diet
Rainbow, brook, brown, and cutthroat trout will also take any small fish that they can. Shiner minnows, sculpins, smelt, and even trout fry and trout eggs, and salmon eggs are seldom passed up.
