Do Trout Eat Frogs?

[markron]

Hello everyone.

I've often pondered the intriguing question: do trout eat frogs? While trout are known for their diverse diet, comprising insects, small fish, and even crustaceans,

the idea of them munching on frogs seems plausible yet mysterious.

Some anglers swear by frog lures, claiming success in catching trout. However, scientific studies on trout diets suggest that while they may occasionally consume frogs, it's not a staple food.

Factors like habitat, trout species, and availability of other prey also play crucial roles.

While there may be some people who can help, this forum is meant for saltwater and reef aquaria and not necessarily freshwater, may I suggest posting this on a different forum thats focused on freshwater aquaria? Perhaps a fishing forum too?

Big browns and rainbows will eat mice among other things.

Yes trout absolutely eat frogs. They make frog lures specifically for trout. Trout will eat almost anything that fits in their mouths.

Some one needs to look into whats going on with op. There are a lot of "weird" posts from this user. Toilet clog, shampoo questions not reef related. No offense meant just looks strange like some kind of bot or possible other nefarious design.

A lot of us are weird. The OP does have some valid content, maybe just post placement is odd....I bet this one was moved to the lounge.

Agreed. And this was moved to the lounge. A lot of forums (aquatic related) have different subforums like fresh water or salt water if not salt related, predator, even fishing deep sea, fly, general, that this could go in and this isnt that weird. But how to rinse shampoo properly? Or someone with a plumbing issue (tank) and they go into a story about how their house needs to be replumbed because their son stopped up the toilet?
Maybe its just me.
