One of the primary reasons for bull trout dispersal is the need to find appropriate spawning areas. Bull trout rely on clean, cold water and gravels of specific sizes for successful reproduction. [13] Once mature, they migrate upstream to spawn in the same streams where they were born. [11]
However, once they return to freshwater, they quickly take on the normal coloration of resident brown trout in preparation for spawning. Sea trout kelts (post spawn) return to their silvery stage as they migrate back to saltwater. [9] Adult brown trout are between 35 and 60 cm (14 and 24 in) long, and can weigh from 0.5 to 2.4 kg (1.1 to 5.3 lb).
In pre-spawning Salmo and Salvelinus males, the lower jaw elongates and the hook develops; female salmon do not develop a kype.

[2] Marine forage fish often make large migrations between their spawning, feeding and nursery grounds. Their movements are ...
As trout are predatory fish, lure fishing (which use replica baits called lures to imitate live prey) is the predominant form of sport fishing involving trout, although traditional bait fishing techniques using floats and/or sinkers (particularly with moving live baits such as baitfish, crayfish or aquatic insects) are also successful ...
