Trout are predators and will eat just about any creatures that they can find that are smaller than them. They will eat:
Aquatic insects and their larvae (nymphs)
Insects that land on the water, fall in the water or hatch under the water and rise to the surface.
Insect larvae that fall in the water from overhanging trees.
Smaller fish (including other trout) and eels.
Crustaceans such as crayfish and shrimp.
Tadpoles and frogs.
Worms and snails.
Large trout will eat small mammals, such as mice, that fall in the water and even baby birds such as ducklings.
Trout will eat the eggs of other trout.
Brookies are preyed on by humans,birds like eagles,ospreys and herons. The young are preyed upon by other fish.Raccoons may take a few,if they get them into the shallows.Otters and mink also will take brook trout.Brook trout are the only trout native east of the rockies.
Why is the brook trout NY state fish?
The trout was adopted as the State fish in 1975. Once plentiful in most of NY waterways the brook trouts habitat has shrunk considerably for various reasons including acid rains, habitat destruction, and introduction of other fish species. Found in hundeds of lakes and ponds in the Adirondack Mountains and scattered in cool, clear streams throughout the State, the native brook trout, called brookies or speckles, provide fine angling and the best of eating.

Is a Golden Rainbow Trout an albino?
No, it is not an albino. An albino by definition is a "an animal or plant with a marked deficiency in pigmentation". The fact that these trout have pigment means they are not ablino.
What they actually are called is "Palomino Rainbow Trout". The Golden Rainbow Trout originated from a single Rainbow Trout that was spawned in the fall of 1954 in West Virginia. This trout's body color was a chimera of golden and normally pigmented tissue. When this fish was crossed with a normally pigmented Rainbow Trout, the offspring (what we have come to refer to as Palomino Rainbow Trout) were lighter in color.
I caught one this past Saturday here in Oklahoma.
What do you catch wild brown trout with?
To catch use minno or a bunch of worms. But the best way to catch them is in the evening on a flyrod.
Sort of like a walleye or a northern pike. Just watch out for clear bones in them.
What is the Difference between Rainbow trout and lake trout?
The lake trout is larger, darker, and is more likely to be found in large bodies of water than the smaller more colorful rainbow. The rainbow is primarily a fish of cold water steams and rivers, but is sometimes found in lakes,where it can attain huge size.
Yes.Trout travel from Antarctic waters all the way to Alaska every year for spawning and breeding unfortunately they migrate to Alaska in the Spring & Summer when Grizzlies are hungry so most of them die.
Where do steelhead trout live?
=In Northern America, Steelhead are found in Pacific Ocean drainages from Southern California throught Alaska.=
Can you trout fish with a steelhead rod?
Yes, you can use a wide range of style/weight rod for different species. Using a lighter rod usually allow for a better feel of the bite, while a heavier rod allows for cast heavier lures/sinkers. A longer rod also helps with casting farther, especially light lures.
What is a scientific name for a trout?
There are as many scientific names for trout as species of trout known. The most common trout in America is arguably the Rainbow trout, whose scientific name is: Oncorhynchus Mykiss.
Interestingly enough, Steelhead trout shares the scientific name with Rainbow trout because they are genetically the same species, with the important distinction that Steelhead is an anadromous variety, that is; ocean going variety of the same species.
The name Rainbow trout came from the former name of this species Salmo Irideus - which was later discovered to have been named previously as Oncorhynchus Mykiss.
Yes. Largemouth will eat smaller trout if they occur in the same waters. Most waters where largemouth occur are too warm for trout.
Which bait is used for Trout fishing?
The bait I use is a salmon egg(its a powerbait inside a plastic jar). I use orange eggs because I get the best luck with them. Some tips with using the fake eggs is molding them into a round ball around the eye of the hook( prefurabley a small hook). Try that out I have caught many Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout in the Chatohochee river using this. Hope it helped!
Crocodile trout is a term used to describe a tremendously large trout. (Usually one that almost got caught but managed to get away!)
