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.
It is true that trout and salmon are related. In fact, they are so closely related that fishermen and scientists often have a difficult time classifying the individual species. Both fish are classified as âan oily fishâ. Technically Trout are a species of freshwater and saltwater fish and Salmon belong to some of the same family as trout. However unlike most trout, most salmon species spend most of their lives in salt water and are not usually found in fresh water on a regular basis. In 1989 DNA tests showed that the rainbow trout also known as the steelhead really isnât a trout at all, and the fish was reclassified as a salmon.
