Excellent question, and probably no biologically correct way to answer that. Most describe the Kamloops rainbow trout as a fast growing strain, very "silvery" appearing to the naked eye, a faint (wide) pinkish stripe, and greenish back with sparse spotting that ends at the lateral stripe. Reputation for long runs, big jumps, and a real sweet tooth for chironomids.

Hmmm, that describes every rainbow that I've ever caught out of Otter Creek. [

PHB's point is basically correct, but it should be pointed out that Gerrard strain fish are the strain that comes from the Northern arm of Kootenay lake, which have a genetic predisposition for becoming large. Gerrard fish are the "kamloops" trout that became famous in Lake Pend Oreille and elsewhere. So technically you can say that the Canadians are using "Kamloops" in Kamloops. [cool]
