What strains of Rainbow trout do you sell and are there differences between the strains?
We maintain four strains of Rainbow trout, including the specialty strains – Silver Steelhead and Kamloops. Under normal conditions, there is no difference in the growth rate and survivability between the different strains. The different strains do have different external characteristics, however. The Kamloops and Jumper strains are known more for their vibrant color and fatter body shape. The Steelhead are prized for their distinct silver color and long, lean body profile; as well as their ability to grow well in seawater.
