The rainbow trout at Cove River Ranch is a freshwater fish. The rainbow trout is a hardy fish that is easy to spawn, fast growing, tolerant of a wide range of environments and handling. Rainbow trout is capable of occupying many different habitats, ranging from an anadromous life history to permanently inhabiting lakes. The species can withstand vast ranges of temperature variation (0-27 °C), but spawning and growth occurs in a narrower range (9-14 °C). The optimum water temperature for rainbow trout culture is below 21 °C. As a result, temperature and food availability influence growth and maturation, causing age at maturity to vary; though it is usually 3-4 years.

Trout will not spawn naturally in culture systems; thus juveniles must be obtained either by artificial spawning in a hatchery or by collecting eggs from wild stocks.
