We made a special effort just to see this trout, even had to back-track as we missed it coming into town.
There is a plaque at the base of the Kamloops Trout that is transcribed as follow:
KAMLOOPS TROUT
This carving of a Kamloops Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) was a project in recognition of our Centennial celebrations in 1993 and the World Fly Fishing Championship June 6-12, 1993.
The Kamloops Trout is part of the heritage of our area and provides joy and wonder to citizens and visitors alike.
