Ryan -- thank you for the links. One of my longstanding issues with Kamloops rainbows is that they are not a distinct (seperate) strain of rainbow trout, they are simply the Gerard strain.
both articles point out that environmental conditions are what makes the Kamloops grow large. Put in the right environment, they will get big, but so will other strains.
Fix the bottleneck, and the fish (no matter the strain) will grow big. Kamloops rainbows are simply a fish with a rich history of fiction.
