Rainbow trout have replaced Lahontan cutthroat trout in areas where the cutthroat is native and Rainbow Trout have been introduced (McAffee 1966b). Rainbow trout populations were greatly reduced in density after up to six years of electrofishing, but were not eradicated. Diet. Fishing for brook trout is prohibited in most streams. But perhaps more importantly, these Native species belong in America. All of these species offer a distinct challenge, and they are all of interest to the angler. Rainbow trout are raised in aquaculture in the U.S., making this fish a local sustainable seafood choice for Tennessee. Like the other trout species, rainbow trout are opportunistic feeders, readily taking aquatic insects encountered in drifting water flow and terrestrial insects that fall into the stream. Rainbows prefer open runs where they tend to feed at the surface more frequently than the other two trout species. Current management efforts include the removal of non-native trout species from streams where they are mixed with the native species. All participants are to complete the entry form which can be found on the website or can be filled out upon arrival. The rainbow trout are carnivorous but they do not necessarily feed on other fish alone; they have a wide variety of prey, including insects, crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish. Populations of many rainbow trout subspecies, including anadromous forms (steelhead) of O. m. irideus (coastal rainbow trout) and O. m. gairdneri (Columbia River redband trout) have declined in their native ranges due to over-harvest, habitat loss, disease, invasive species, pollution and hybridization with other subspecies, and some introduced populations, once healthy, have declined for the same reasons. Rainbow trout are native only to the Pacific Rim, from Mexico to Russia. They can live in the wild up to 12 years, but average 4-6 years. They compete with native brook trout and Atlantic salmon for food and habitat, which can drive native species to migrate away from their native habitats.
