Responses
Based on some in-depth research I’m going to have to go w/ 20 as my answer…How many have I actually caught – probably 4 (Brook, Brown, Rainbow, Lake)
I will go with 12 and add that Cutthroat is the best looking!
I will go with 30, but it could be more than that with all of the Hybrids these days. My favorite is the brooky
