| Trout Fishing in Hawaii Hawaii has limited trout fishing. The only recorded trout are rainbow trout. Pure cold water is key to survival of the trouts and the water in Hawaii streams, ponds, lakes and rivers is typically too warm for all but the rainbows. Even for the rainbows conditions are marginal. Rainbow Trout Known for its tasty pink flesh, beauty and gameness, the rainbow trout is a favorite among the vast majority of trout fishing anglers. It also appeals to the fly fisherman as it can be tempted to take properly presented flies as well as other baits and lures. It feeds on small insects, minnows, crustaceans and worms. Rainbow trout fishing is fun for both sport and dining pleasures. In waters that allow such migration the rainbow trout will remain in streams until it reaches 6" to 9" in length and then travel to lakes or oceans where it will bulk up and then return to the streams or rivers to spawn. Steelhead trout are rainbow trout which have adapted to the salt water environment. Fishing for steelhead is very similar to fishing for rainbows. However in winter the steelhead typically prefer spoons or bait rather than flies. Your best bet to catch a trout in Hawaii is in the streams and ponds on the island of Kaua'i. The state record rainbow trout was caught in the Koke'e area on the island of Kaua'i.
