[edit] IRC
Should not the article also mention the use of trout on IRC? --67.15.118.24 07:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC) You need more information on the trout's diet!

H3nryH3nry 20:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)Can I split the article into sections and put headings between them? Is there a special formula that I need to follow for this?
- Be bold! You may want to refer to the Manual of Style first, though. — Dave (Talk | contribs) 02:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Combine with article on salmon?
The Salmo genus also has Atlantic Salmon, S. salar which is excluded because it's called "salmon" instead of "trout". Oncorhynchus genus also has these "salmon": Chinook (O. tshawytscha), Pink (O. gorbuscha), Chum (O. keta), Coho (O. kisutch) and Sockeye (O. nerka), again excluded from the "trout" article because they are called "salmon".
This distinction between "trout" and "salmon" is arbitrary. If you say it's between anadromous and strictly freshwater fish, in fact most "trout" and "salmon" species go both ways. If you say it's between species that always die after spawning versus those that sometimes survive to spawn again, S. salar becomes a "trout".
Would it be better to have comprehensive articles for each genus, including both their "trout" and their "salmon"? Wouldn't it be better to deal with trout/salmon ambiguity with redirection and disambiguation? LADave 14:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Where's the Speckled Trout?
Speckled Trout is a major game fish in Southeast Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico. I see no references to this extremely popular variant in this article.--Heavy (talk) 22:06, 30 January 2008 (UTC) I suggest to include a special reference about the "Ishkhan" trout in the Lake Sevan in Armenia.
