Your Online Resource for Trout Pictures!
If you're about to head out to do some trout fishing, it might be useful to review some trout pictures first. After all, when you land a big one you'll want to know exactly which variety of trout it is that you've caught. By reviewing trout pictures, you'll be familiar with the different types and recognize the one you've caught.
We've scoured the Internet to find some great websites with tons of trout pictures so you can get pumped for your next fishing trip. But first, here is a description of some common types of trout so you can identify them in pictures or on the end of your pole.
One type very commonly seen in trout pictures is the Brown Trout
. The brown trout is native to Europe and western Asia. It was introduced into lakes and streams in the United States about 100 years ago and is currently one of the most widespread fish of the trout and salmon family. This fish can live in higher water temperatures than the other trout varieties. It is also difficult to catch, and is not as tasty as some of the other trout varieties.
To find out if you have a brown trout in your trout pictures look for a brown fish with silvery sides and pronounced black spots on its back. This coloring is more typical where the fish was caught in a stream; for trout pictures where the fish was caught in the sea or a large lake the fish is mostly silver in color. Pictures showing an average brown trout will display a fish about 16 inches in length and a few pounds in weight.
The Rainbow Trout
and Steelhead Trout
are other fish you will commonly see in trout pictures. They are very similar in appearance, but rainbow trout are caught in fresh water and steelhead trout are caught in the sea. In trout pictures the rainbow trout will be steel-blue, blue-green, yellow-green to almost brown on back. They will have silvery sides and be silvery white below.
When looking at trout pictures of Brook Trout
, you will see a fish that is olive-green to dark brown on its back, and lighter on its sides. They are silvery white on their undersides.
Now that you've looked at trout pictures, get out there and catch those fish!
