The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a species of salmonid native to tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America as well as much of the central, western, eastern, and especially the northern portions of the United States. The species has been introduced for food or sport to at least 45 countries, and every continent except Antarctica. In some locations, such as Southern Europe, Australia and South America, they have negatively impacted upland native fish species, either by eating them, outcompeting them, transmitting contagious diseases, or hybridization with closely-related species and subspecies that are native to western North America The species was originally named by Johann Julius Walbaum in 1792 based on type specimens from Kamchatka. Richardson named a specimen of this species Salmo gairdneri in 1836, and in 1855, W. P. Gibbons found a population and named it Salmo iridia, later corrected to Salmo irideus, however these names faded once it was determined that Walbaum's type description was conspecific and therefore had precedence (see e.g. Behnke, 1966).[3] More recently, DNA studies showed rainbow trout are genetically closer to Pacific salmon (Onchorhynchus species) than to brown trout (Salmo trutta) or Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar), so the genus was changed. Unlike the species' former name's epithet iridia (Latin: rainbow), the specific epithet mykiss derives from the local Kamchatkan name 'mykizha'; all of Walbaum's species names were based on Kamchatkan local names. The ocean going (anadromous) form (including those returning for spawning) are known as steelhead, (Canada and the United States) or ocean trout (Australia), although they are the same species. Like salmon, steelhead are anadromous: they return to their original hatching ground to spawn. Similar to Atlantic salmon, but unlike their Pacific Oncorhynchus salmonid kin, steelhead are iteroparous and may make several spawning trips between fresh and salt water. The steelhead smolts (immature or young fish) remain in the river for about a year before heading to sea, whereas salmon typically return to the seas as smolts. Different steelhead populations migrate upriver at different times of the year. "Summer-run steelhead" migrate between May and October, before their reproductive organs are fully mature. They mature in freshwater before spawning in the spring. Most Columbia River steelhead are "summer-run". "Winter-run steelhead" mature fully in the ocean before migrating, between November and April, and spawn shortly after returning. The maximum recorded life-span for a rainbow trout is 11 years.[4] Salmon is often sold as a replacement because their similar taste.

My Grandparents have a cottage on Diamond. They say the winter fishing isn't what it used to be. They haven't stocked it since 2007 either

beauty

google it!

That's not correct. I've taken videos and it has great audio.

Here's a few oldies. Lake Huron

I look at pictures for distictive characteristics and colors.

is it not a brookie? look at the size of it's head.

Thanks Dan, I think it's still a little light in colors.

I just finished a musky but it was for someone so i didn't post it. Next will be a walleye. maybe after the hockey game. thanks everyone for all the possitive comments. go Canada!

who would want to catch walleye over those beauties anyway? nice fish.

The D10 comes with a case that can go around your neck or clip to a loop.

very professional looking

thanks guys, here's a couple more.

I know what you mean about tha B. I think the next ones I do will just have the fish, not the letters. It's pretty obvious what kind of fish it is without the letters, right? great job! can you do me a favour? draw up a tattoo for me please? something with a canadian touch to it. could be fishing related. make it real badass! lol up to you if you wanna do it or not, no pressure. i got another idea, maybe a fish skeleton of some sort?

Just sitting around this afternoon and thought I would draw. Ended up with the picture bellow and thought to myself that this might be nice on the back of a t-shirt with maybe my name on the front. Then I got thinking of maybe doing a whole series of Canadian "FISH" Fishereman...eg, walleye, trout, pike, musky etc.....I was just wondering, would anyone else be interested in my idea? Any suggestions or orders? I have no idea what it would cost to print onto a t-shirt but I do have a friend in the printing industry. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for looking.

I love my canon power shot D10. It takes fantastic underwater and out of water photos and videos. Here are a few from mexico. We were about 25' away from the crocadile/caymin and the picture was taken through a window with no cropping done.

http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...mp;#entry428633 In this thread, he's got 4 pictures of 1 fish and 3 pictures of another. All the pictures are of different angles so they all look like different fish.

That's excatly where we were thinking, just wanted some more suggestions. thanks all.

all 4 of the ones i posted are from lake of the woods

my wife and i are thinking of going bass fishing at the end of march in the florida area. can anyone give me some suggestions on where to go? we're thinking of flying and renting a car and possibly a boat. doesn't have to be florida. thanks.

here are a few i've caught over the years.

i've caught some really big fish during an east wind, but they are few and far between. very low numbers of fish.
