Beautiful fish, generally more native to the areas I've fished (at least in the watersheds below the alpine lakes I find them stocked in), beautiful fish, opportunistic feeders as opposed to preferring insects or fish so they're fun to fly fish, beautiful fish, again being native I find them to be a symbol of the west and wildness (like many states including UT), beautiful fish, they care about their lives and fight unlike some fish, and they're still really beautiful fish. Just an all around fan.
