    Trout can live for about seven years. Most trout are born, grow up, lay eggs and die in lakes or streams. Some trout, through, travel more in their seven years than some people do in a lifetime, In fact, they may migrate from their lake or stream to the ocean and back three or four times!

    Over their lives, trout grow and change a lot. When they grow up, they lay eggs that will hatch into new young trout. This process of growing, changing and then making new trout is called a life cycle. The pictures here show the stages of a trout’s life.
