Habitat
Rainbow trout like cool water, but they are found in many different types of lakes, rivers, streams and ponds. Rainbow trout are very popular throughout the country and many states do spring and fall stockings of these fish as a catch and keep fish because once the waters warm up in the summer, the remaining fish will die. They prefer cold water and they really shouldn’t be found in so many different places, but due to the stockings, you can find rainbow trout all over the country in so many different places.
