Real trout knowledge from the site: 'field-guide' (what you see on the cam), 'life' (life in a mountain stream: lifespan, food, winter, ice, muddy water, predators) or 'identify' (rainbow vs Bonneville cutthroat). Or search with q.

Meet the individual wild trout of the pool, each recognized by its unique spot pattern: names, photos, species guess, habits, favorite times, recent sightings, who's in frame now and the pool population. Pass a fish's slug for one profile with its sightings.

Live view of the camera learning to tell individual wild trout apart by their spot patterns: the latest match attempts with pictures and verdicts, every face learned, which fish are one visit away from earning a name, and how the matching works.
