Rainbow Trout

The rainbow trout is one of Montana's most popular fish, and there are a lot of reasons why that is true. Rainbows grow large, are found over a large part of the state, and feed aggressively, which means people who fish for them have a better chance of catching a rainbow trout than they do of catching some of the other of Montana's trout species.
