Trout are coldwater fish. The rainbow trout prefers water temperatures ranging between 45-65 degrees Fahrenheit, and they need cold, clean water with good oxygen levels to thrive. Although they can endure warmer water temperatures into the mid-70s, they will always seek out cooler water if it is present.

At the north end of the Mosquito Lagoon a labyrinth of islands, channels, and shallow ponds hosts loads of wading birds, dolphins, redfish, and seatrout. Canaveral National Seashore administers a dozen National Park Service campsites here.

Never been to Idaho. Always wanted to go. Beautiful scenery, awesome rivers, great trout fishing. Why wouldn't you go? We left Portland on I-5, crossing the Columbia River and hopping off in Vancouver.
Everyone hears stories about novice anglers who land lunkers on their first fishing adventures. Sure, anyone can catch a massive fish on any cast, but to consistently catch trophy speckled trout takes work, patience and perseverance waiting long hours for that one big bite.
