Introduction:

Native Trout:
Native Trout are indigenous or native to a given region.
They have survived habitat change and introduction of
non-native species throughout time. We like to think of
them as trout that were stocked by God.

Wild Trout:
Like native trout, wild, stream-bred trout are trout that
are born and raised in the stream, not in a hatchery.
They are different from native trout in that their  
ancestors were at one time stocked. After being stocked,
they were able to survive and reproduce on their own
well enough that stocking was discontinued. It is common
to find stream-bred trout in streams and rivers where
trout are still stocked.

Stocked Trout:
There is a huge difference in a stocked trout, a native
trout and a wild trout. Stocked trout are born and feed in
a hatchery prior to being stocked. They are much easier
to catch than wild trout that were born in the stream and
have spent their entire life capturing food only from what
Mother Nature has provided.
The stocked trout will usually fall for just about anything
that remotely resembles food, especially if it is similar to
what they were used to eating at the hatchery. They are
much less afraid of danger than wild trout. Wild trout
have to survive the treats of predators such as otters,
birds and other fish their entire life.

Types of Trout Streams:
There are roughly three basic types of trout streams.
Some are combinations of two of them and are difficult to
label one or the other. (Click here for more information
on Types of Trout Streams)

Species of Trout:
There are several species and subspecies of trout in the
United States and Canada. Most of them fall into one of
four categories, rainbow, brown, brook and cutthroat,
but there are others.

of trout)
