While researching for the blog on Cherokee Trout Fishing I learned about the Donaldson Trout, a species of trout often called the "Super Trout". It has earned it's name due to it's ability to grow rapidly and become a challenging fighter.
The Donaldson trout was developed by the University of Washington thru selective breeding and nutrition, to attain a large body size in a short amount of time. Trout usually reach sexual maturity in about 4 years and weigh 1 1/2 pounds. The Donaldson, however, mature is two years and weigh up to 10 pounds, and they are prolific producing more eggs.
The fight these trout up would thrill any angler. Now they are available in the Cherokee Tribal Waters in Cherokee North Carolins. Why not give them a try?
