The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a trout and species of salmonid native to cold-water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. The steelhead (sometimes called "steelhead trout") is an anadromous (sea-run) form of the coastal rainbow trout (O. m. irideus) or Columbia River redband trout (O. m. gairdneri) that usually returns to fresh water to spawn after living two to three years in the ocean. Freshwater forms that have been introduced into the Great Lakes and migrate into tributaries to spawn are also called steelhead.
Adult freshwater stream rainbow trout average between 1 and 5 lb (0.5 and 2.3 kg), while lake-dwelling and anadromous forms may reach 20 lb (9 kg). Coloration varies widely based on subspecies, forms and habitat. Adult fish are distinguished by a broad reddish stripe along the lateral line, from gills to the tail, which is most vivid in breeding males.
Wild-caught and hatchery-reared forms of this species have been transplanted and introduced for food or sport in at least 45 countries and every continent except Antarctica. Introductions to locations outside their native range in the United States (U.S.), Southern Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South America have damaged native fish species. Introduced populations may affect native species by preying on them, out-competing them, transmitting contagious diseases (such as whirling disease), or hybridizing with closely related species and subspecies, thus reducing genetic purity. Other introductions into waters previously devoid of any fish species or with severely depleted stocks of native fish have created world-class sport fisheries such as the Great Lakes and Wyoming's Firehole River.

Genres: Short,In the name of love she came
This foolish winsome girl
She was all decked out like a rainbow trout
Swimmin' up stream in the world
And she said, "Please, please, I've lost my way
The current is too strong
In the name of love, kind sir I pray
In the name of love"
So I took her by the hand
She took me by the will
She was all dolled up like a blue eyed pup
Looking for something to spill
And she said, "Please, please, I've lost my way
The current is too strong
In the name of love, kind sir I pray
In the name of love"
In the name of love she came
This foolish winsome girl
She was all decked out like a rainbow trout
Swimmin' upstream in the world
And she said, "Please, please, I've lost my way
The current is too strong"
And she gave one flip of the rainbow tip of her tail
And she swam back down
And she said, "Please, please, I've lost my way
The current is too strong
In the name of love, kind sir I pray
In the name of love"
And she said, "Please, please, I've lost my way
The current is too strong
In the name of love, kind sir I pray
In the name of love"
And she said, "Please, please, I've lost my way
The current is too strong
In the name of love, kind sir I pray
