To your question in your post; yes, species does matter when I am planning a trip. I like to fit in a variety of species during the season, from arctic grayling to cutts to stocked rainbows.

As for stocked species, I like them all. I end up fishing for rainbows because that's the most common fish stocked. So I do enjoy fishing for other species in stillwaters like brookies, browns, and tigers. Nice to see AEP stocking more browns and tigers recently.

Bottom line; I like variety. More often than not, species is a function of location, and that is a function of whether I am doing a day trip from Edmonton or going overnight.
No cutthroats because list is stocked non natives only. Rainbows basically non natives stocking yet natives are coming.
