IRC

Should not the article also mention the use of trout on IRC? --67.15.118.24 07:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC) You need more information on the trout's diet![reply]

Contents

H3nryH3nry 20:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)Can I split the article into sections and put headings between them? Is there a special formula that I need to follow for this?[reply]

Be bold! You may want to refer to the Manual of Style first, though. — Dave (Talk | contribs) 02:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Combine with article on salmon?

The Salmo genus also has Atlantic Salmon, S. salar which is excluded because it's called "salmon" instead of "trout". Oncorhynchus genus also has these "salmon": Chinook (O. tshawytscha), Pink (O. gorbuscha), Chum (O. keta), Coho (O. kisutch) and Sockeye (O. nerka), again excluded from the "trout" article because they are called "salmon".

This distinction between "trout" and "salmon" is arbitrary. If you say it's between anadromous and strictly freshwater fish, in fact most "trout" and "salmon" species go both ways. If you say it's between species that always die after spawning versus those that sometimes survive to spawn again, S. salar becomes a "trout".

Would it be better to have comprehensive articles for each genus, including both their "trout" and their "salmon"? Wouldn't it be better to deal with trout/salmon ambiguity with redirection and disambiguation? LADave 14:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the Speckled Trout?

Speckled Trout is a major game fish in Southeast Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico. I see no references to this extremely popular variant in this article.--Heavy (talk) 22:06, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest to include a special reference about the "Ishkhan" trout in the Lake Sevan in Armenia. Ironback (talk) 15:17, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Heavy, Ironback; feel free to do add something on those! One or two sentences would do nicely, I guess! Classical geographer (talk) 12:44, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I might have missed the supposed joke here, but you do know a "Speckled Trout" is NOT a salmonoid trout, but a completely unrelated warm water salt water fish? Forescore68 (talk) 02:35, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sea-run brook trout and Hybrids

Hi folks. Would anyone object to me editing the entry for Brook Trout to read:

Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis (Includes Sea-Run variety, as well as Tiger Trout and Splake hybrids)

I feel that this would greatly aid readers, and here is why:

-Almost everyone from my region incorrectly refers to a sea-run brook trout as a 'Sea Trout'. Many don't even realize that the sea-run variety is related to a bookie (they 'can' look quite different). So when they come to this page, not seeing any other reference to the sea-run trout, they will end up clicking on the non-char "Sea Trout" entry which is similar to the brown trout (as I did originally) - which is not what they are looking for, and will cause confusion.

-Tiger Trout and Splake: many people are familiar with these fish, but don't realize they are actually hybrids. A mention of them here will aid them in locating what they are looking for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamnb1 (talk • contribs) 14:57, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

I'm going to get rid of the link to Crane Creek, there's really no reason to have that particular river over any other as a link on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.251.248.16 (talk) 21:06, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
