We strive to provide the highest-quality trout eggs available, and have been selectively breeding for a century. We sell rainbow, brook, brown, and tiger trout eggs. We offer reproducing and sterile options. Pricing and more information is located below.
We specialize in the production of all-female and triploid (sterile) eggs. All-female eggs are preferred by commercial trout farmers throughout the world. Troutlodge proudly offers all-female Rainbow trout eggs as its standard product, meaning you do not pay a premium for these superior eggs.
At 55 °F, rainbow trout eggs will hatch approximately 3 weeks after fertilization, or within 4 to 7 days after being received as eyed eggs. At 45 °F, the eggs will hatch approximately 7 weeks after fertilization.
If you’re interested in raising your own trout or using trout eggs for bait, finding a reliable source is the first step. Trout eggs are popular for hatchery projects, restocking lakes and rivers, or even bait for fishing.
Pour the eggs into a hatching basket following acclimation. These net-type baskets can be purchased at pet and aquarium stores. You can also use a vibert box, which are sold at similar locations.
Trout eggs typically hatch between 30 and 120 days after they are laid, depending on the water temperature. The optimal temperature range for hatching trout eggs is between 50°F and 55°F. Another factor that affects hatching time is genetics.
How to hatch these eggs? Our favorite method is an upwelling incubator. Eggs grow well in a dark environment with plenty of uniform flow. You can find incubators online such as the Mcdonalds Hatching Jar. We build our own system suited to our preferences for growing trout eggs.
Before ordering eggs please check with local Fish and Game or Department of Agriculture about importation of live eggs into the state that you reside. Most states require and importation permit for live trout eggs.
Hatching: Eggs typically hatch within 4 to 6 weeks, depending on water temperature. Alevins: Newly hatched trout, called alevins, carry a yolk sac that provides nutrition for the first few weeks. Keep them in a dark, quiet environment to reduce stress.
Eggs are approximately 4.8 - 5.3 mm on average. To ensure your alevins or fry survive and grow well we recommend feeding premium trout starter diets after hatching and “swim-up” with a size range of 0.2 mm – 0.6 mm. Click here for more information about our BCWD resistant Jumper strain.
