Well I hope, would be nice to have a rainbow in one of my tanks. I usually just take them home for dinner but next time one or two will go in the tank.

I'd like to see it work for you. I tried last summer with a 4" baby rainbow trout that got a bit over zealous on a worm I baited my hook with. He lasted a few days for me but I just couldn't keep the water cool enough, even with putting it right on an AC vent.

Good luck bro, keep us posted. Trout are cool fish, shame the only way we can really get the effect of keeping one by getting a Dorado. :irked:

I will update if I get one soon. I'm still working on getting the 210 situated, waiting for parts on the FX5, scape it, etc.
 
Nothing lives in the great salt lake other then brine shrimp. Its far far too salty.

Here in KY they release trout in Big Bone Creek, starting in March and a few times over the following months. I catch these trout well into the summer when its in the 90's, this creek dries up at times and one year, possibly two years the KDFWR didn't stock them. The creek in some spots is only a few feet deep, the spot is catch them in is about just that, 1-3 feet. After a few hard rains the trout are just about gone but a few years ago I caught them year around, it was spotty but I did. Knowing that this creek doesn't stay in the 60-70 all the time, I don't see why they wouldn't make it in my tank. I don't have heaters so my tank stays around 68-72 degrees all the time. If they can live in water that is well over 80 degrees, they should be fine in a tank. These are farm raised I believe from Wolf Creek, Cumberland, KY. I have until Oct 1 do try this should I make it down there soon.

I hate to be prick, but I doubt that it was around 80 where the trout was at. Currents, shades, and the dept of creeks can affect the water temperature in few spots. Just because you feels hot in that spot, doesn't mean the whole creek is hot. Not mentioned that its just temporarily event.


BTW if you are planning go bring trout home......make sure you have an aerator with you for transporting them and make sure the collection time is short. Cool water fishes are very sensitive and stressed out easily.

Just because Great Salt Lake is too salty, doesn't mean that lake is fish free. In spring time some fishes may be found in Great Salt Lake after the snow melts and the freshwater just spills out in Great Salt Lake but its a short event. That said, you don't read the OPs question, did you?
 
best bet would be a Burmese trout, Raiamas guttatus, not quite as pretty as any native trout but still similar looking. Good luck on finding one.
