This talk is a fun and in-depth look at how trout evolved, their native ranges, the challenges and key to identifying them, how to tell if your trout is male or female, why there are so many different color variations within the same kind of trout, the main differences between each of the most popular trout species (rainbow, cutthroat, brown, and brook), and more.  Carol also covers the three principle tenets of "KeepFishWet," a scientifically-based practice to help anglers ensure the best chance of trout surviving after catch and release.
