We have no time limit on when the SKED needs to be replaced because different rescue professionals use it in different ways for different lengths of time. If there is any damage to your stretcher, please reevaluate if you should be using it. If you have questions, please call us at 800-770-SKED (7533) .
Brook trout, rainbow trout, and brown trout are three of the most popular species of coldwater game fish; however, you will notice that these species are limited to the northern U.S. or to areas of high elevation where air temperatures can support the colder water.
Most trout such as lake trout live in freshwater lakes and/or rivers exclusively, while there are others such as the rainbow trout which may either live out their lives in fresh water, or spend two or three years at sea before returning to fresh water to spawn, a habit more typical of salmon.ake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), like brook trout, belong to the char genus. Lake trout inhabit many of the larger lakes in North America, and live much longer than rainbow trout, which have an average maximum lifespan of 7 years.
