 Since the beginning of time, humans have been hunting and fishing. However, today, fishing has shifted from more of a method of getting food to a recreational activity. In Wyoming, trout is a common fish hunted for sport. Trout is a species of freshwater fish that is found in the Salmona de'a family. There are many different species found in Wyoming, including cutthroat, rainbow, brown, brook, golden, orid, and lake. However, the cutthroat trout is the only species native to Wyoming, according to the Game and Fish Department. Trout species vary widely in size, coloration, and habitat selection, but most are cool freshwater fish and are found in clear streams and lakes. Trout feed on other fish and aquatic invertebrates. In turn, the flavor of the fish is influenced by their feeding choices. Trout are a popular fish for anglers, particularly fly fishermen. It helps for these hunters to know the different shapes among moving waters to identify types of trout they are likely to catch. Not only do these fish provide recreational opportunities for humans, they also provide food for Wyoming's predators, including bears and eagles.
