Trout rising at Shangri La.

We stock both Rainbow and Brook trout, and are the only licensed providers in New York State to stock Atlantic salmon.

Atlantic salmon, also known as the “King of Fish,” are anadromous, which means they live in both fresh and saltwater. Atlantic salmon have a complex life history that begins with spawning and juvenile rearing in rivers. They then migrate to saltwater to feed, grow, and mature before returning to freshwater to spawn.

Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and decrease risk factors for diseases.

• It’s a great source of protein, potassium, and selenium, a mineral that protects bone health, improves thyroid function, and reduces the risk of cancer.

• Salmon can also help reduce the risk of heart disease, aid in weight control, and protect brain health.

Brook trout—also called the speckled trout—is a beautifully colored fish with yellow spots over an olive-green back. The spots along the trout’s back are stretched and almost wormlike in shape. Along its sides, the brook trout’s color transitions from olive to orange or red, with scattered red spots bordered by pale blue. Its lower fins are orange or red, each with a white streak and a black streak, and its underside is a milky white. A brook trout usually reaches 9 to 10 inches (23 to 25 centimeters) in length. Brook trout are considered one of the most delicious fish, and taste even better when you are the one who catches them!

The Rainbow trout is an extremely valuable species in any and all of its forms. It is native to the west coast of North America from southern Alaska to Mexico. Rainbow trout are members of the Pacific trout and salmon subgroup of the salmon family (Salmonidae) which also includes the redband trout, cutthroat trout and golden trout. Regarded as the most widely successful of the introduced salmonids and the most widely known and recognized of the worlds trout species, rainbow trout rank among the top five most sought game fish in North America.

Our ponds are spring fed and naturally kept at the ideal temperature of 58 degrees.
