Shelley told us: "The picture doesn't do them justice, they were so big and heavy. The smell... "It was myself and a friend who removed them thankfully couldn't see any more.

They added: "Although not indigenous to Scotland the Rainbow Trout can be found all across our country, it is probably the most popular species to target with local Scottish anglers. "Rainbows are stocked into our Lochs (lakes) simply to provide anglers with fantastic sport, averaging between 2-3lb in weight and they will really go some on a fly rod. Rainbow Trout fishing in Scotland is available all year round, there is no closed season."

Fish can suffer ‘intense pain', surprising new study finds
A new study reveals that fish, such as rainbow trout, suffer between 2 to 20 minutes of intense pain during slaughter for food, particularly when using air asphyxiation. Researchers estimate that rainbow trout endure an average of 10 minutes of moderate to intense pain during air asphyxiation, a common slaughter method where fish are deprived of oxygen. The study suggests that chilling fish in ice slurry after capture may prolong their suffering by slowing down metabolic processes and extending the time to unconsciousness. Electrical stunning, if implemented correctly, could significantly reduce the pain experienced by fish, potentially averting 1 to 20 hours of moderate to extreme pain for every dollar spent. The Welfare Footprint Framework is highlighted as a method to quantify and compare animal welfare interventions, providing metrics to guide cost-benefit decisions and improve slaughter practices.

Summertime fishing is here, and Oklahoma lakes are stocked. Where to find these species
With Oklahomans in full-blown summer mode, it's time to grab your rod and reel, tackle box and head to your favorite fishing spot. Oklahoma offers a diverse range of fish for anglers to catch, along with numerous lakes, ponds, and rivers where they can be found. And the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is keeping Oklahoma waters stocked. Here's what to know about where fish have been stocked ahead of summer fishing in Oklahoma. More: Taking a dip in dirty water? Here's how to tell if Oklahoma rivers, lakes are safe to swim As mentioned in a TikTok video, the wildlife department "lovingly stocked" nearly 1 million fingerling Florida bass in bodies of water across the state at the end of May. A subspecies of largemouth bass, Florida bass will interbreed with native largemouth bass. The hybrids created grow rapidly and produce trophy-size fish, according to the department. Largemouth bass is the most sought-after game fish in Oklahoma. In 2024, more than 800,000 of the Florida bass were stocked in public Oklahoma waters. You can spot a largemouth bass by noting the following traits: The mouth hinge is well behind eye Most do not have a tooth patch on their tongue The first and second dorsal fins are barely connected. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather a handful of lakes that were stocked in 2024. There were many smaller lakes stocked, as well as ponds and rivers.

Trout turn tides in Bageshwar's rural economy
Bageshwar: Farmers in Bageshwar district's remote hillside villages who were once reliant solely on traditional agriculture, have significantly improved their livelihoods through trout farming, marking a shift in the region's rural economy. As part of the state govt's push for commercial farming, a cluster-based trout cultivation initiative now spans 10 villages in Kapkot block, including Jagthana, Leeti, and Baghar. Currently, 15 local cooperative societies support over 165 individuals engaged in trout farming. The programme has become a steady source of income and an example of effective implementation of govt's initiatives. Jagthana village stands out for its performance, where residents like Chandar Danu credit trout farming for their improved standard of living. "Farming alone wasn't enough to sustain our family. Since we started trout farming, covering household expenses and our children's education has become easier. We no longer feel the need to migrate," he said. District fisheries officer Manoj Miyan noted that trout, which is valued both for its nutritional content and high market demand, sells for around Rs 450 per kg, offering farmers a stable annual income. Cultivation takes place in cold-water ponds. Since Oct 2024, farmers have supplied one quintal weekly to the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), ensuring a consistent buyer and addressing earlier sales challenges. "This is not just a livelihood project. It's a rural economic revival," said Sher Singh of Baghar. "We never imagined we could earn this much while living in the mountains. Every morning now begins with hope by the fish ponds." Trout production in the district has grown from 30 to 40 quintals annually to around 60 quintals. The success of the initiative has drawn attention from the state govt. During a recent visit to the district, finance secretary Dilip Jawalkar praised the effort and announced a Rs 200 crore trout development plan, to be funded by National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), which is expected to benefit Bageshwar significantly. Rainbow Trout, from the Salmonidae family, thrives in the cold Himalayan climate and is cultivated mainly in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Sikkim. Its growing popularity as a protein-rich, low-fat food keeps its market price between Rs 400-600 per kg. The rise of trout farming in Bageshwar is not only strengthening the local economy but also generating youth employment, improving nutrition, and promoting sustainable rural development. What began as a modest livelihood programme has become a symbol of self-reliance in the hills.

Rainbow Trout organizers hit water to hawk tickets
All aboard the 'Good Ship Trout.' The Rainbow Trout Music Festival is commandeering the Winnipeg Waterways tour boat at The Forks today to sell 50 keepsake tickets for August's event, set to be held along the banks of the Roseau River south of St. Malo. The limited-edition tickets (cash only) will be available for $160, while online sales of full weekend passes ($160) are set to open to the public on Sunday at noon. Since 2009, the volunteer-led independent festival has made its home at the Oroseau River venue, bringing music and creativity to a site owned by George and Florence Beaudry. Earlier this year, the festival announced that following the 2025 festival (Aug. 15 to 17) — featuring Manitoba headliners Tired Cossack, Beth, Holy Void and Fontine — the organization would be moving to a new location. HITOMI PHOTOGRAPHY Rainbow Trout Music Festival takes place Aug. 15-17. 'Something that's very special about Rainbow Trout is its connection to nature at the festival site, so having our ticket launch on the river resonates with the spirit of the festival,' says communications and marketing director Katlyn Streilein. Starting at 2 p.m., Winnipeg songwriter Nic Dyson will rock the main dock as ticket buyers board the tour boat in groups of 10. 'We'll go out as many times as it takes to sell the tickets,' says Streilein. Festival organizers call the aquatic launch a 'full-circle moment' as Will Belford, the co-owner of Winnipeg Waterways Tours & Transit, is one of Trout's founding members. A former Rainbow Trout fun-and-games co-ordinator and operations director, Belford left the board two years ago to dip his toes into the tourism industry, and was eager to help kick off the festival's 'last hurrah' at its original riverside site from the ancient meeting point of The Forks. In a release, artistic director Keeley Braunstein-Black says the limited-edition physical tickets are a throwback to the festival's roots when 'hand-to-hand' ticket sales were the norm. 'These tickets are more than admission: they're a keepsake from the last summer at Oroseau,' Braunstein-Black said. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. The festival will continue in the future, but that the volunteer board has yet to select a location for the 2026 edition and beyond, Streilein says, noting tentative conversations have been underway with potential hosts interested in sharing their land. Streilein says festival attendees this year can expect an extra-special version of the festival, where organizers are also planning to co-ordinate a time-capsule project to commemorate its 16-year run at its original location. Earlier in the week, the festival announced its 2025 lineup, which features Toronto headliners Luge, World News 808909 and So Tired, along with Manitoba acts Compost, Charlie Redstar, Prairie, CEC, Smoky Tiger, Tofusmell and Irvin Miller.
