They are nothing like real trout and the water is much too warm for trout in Florida.
Zunliang also has mentioned wanting to go fishing in Alaska, and I sure hope that we will. Another, closer to home idea that I have is going on a field trip fishing places that have or might have Sacramento Perch, a primitive sunfish which is a very unique and tasty California native of the central valley whose status is rather insecure, except for having fortunately been put in certain high elevation waters such as Crowley. And that would entail lots of trout fishing too. (The Sacramento Perch fairies apparently have been busy stocking them in other waters, or they have made their way on their own, plus some places were stocked with them by fisheries biologists long ago, so they may be present in more waters than the large majority of us realize.) And of course, we would like to do more Golden Trout fishing, another unique California native that Zunliang mentions. (I took her to a nice, easily accessed place that has lots of them a few years ago and we caught some, which remembers vividly.)
