(Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Rainbows are annually stocked into many South-West dams and waterways where they have naturalised.

Trout prefer cool water conditions below 20 o C, and a hot summer, when water temperatures can rise above 25 o C, may kill them.

Open and closed seasons apply to trout. The trout season generally starts on 1 September and ends on the 30 April. A closed season for spawning applies to all streams and tributaries of major rivers, and some major waters where trout breed. However, some waters are open all year round. A licence is required, for more details please contact WA Fisheries.
