Rainbow Trout in Saskatchewan
Rainbow Trout are by far the most popular of stocked trout species you can find in Saskatchewan. You'll find them in more lakes than other stocked trout species as well.
Sean Konrad caught the world record Rainbow Trout weighing 48lbs on Lake Diefenbaker in 2009.
In Saskatchewan, Rainbow Trout are raised at the Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery on Echo Lake and released into ponds and lakes across the province. Keet's Fish Farm and Dryland Fisheries produce rainbow trout for stocking in private dugouts and ponds.
