Each year lower mainland lakes are stocked with thousands of Rainbow Trout. These fish are "triploids" a modified fish that cannot reproduce. These fish are eager biters, and very easy to catch. That results in lots of fun for everyone. These fish provide an excellent opportunity for many anglers to be able to fish close to home with good success. One doesn't need expensive gear, a simple fishing rod with a weight and hook and maybe a bobber will easily catch these spunky trout.. This is a great opportunity to take a young person out, and teach them to fish. I -STRONGLY- encourage everyone to get out there and give it a try!

  • lol no survival skills? I bet if that fish is put in the wild they will live just fine, and i wouldn't want to eat something made in a lab haha

  • @SuperBrandango No, triploids don't reproduce, so they grow and grow and grow until they can't sustain their mass and die.. Google photos of escaped triploids, lake diefenbaker.

  • @ScreamingReelsTV thats what i mean, you said they dont have hunting instinct so how exactly did they get that big?

  • @SuperBrandango No idea why they get so big, but it's not from hunting skills. Tripoloids eat just about anything. Who knows why those freaks got so big in lake diefenbaker, probably because there are no other predators there.
