The Colorado Division of Wildlife annually stocks approximately 4.5 million rainbow trout greater than 8 inches in length throughout Colorado. Famed for spectacular fighting abilities and culinary appeal, rainbow can best be caught during their prime feeding periods, early morning and late evening. As rainbow -- like all trout -- often display a selective feeding pattern, anglers should carry a diverse variety of baits, lures and flies. Status: Cold Water Game Fish
