What trout fishing species fishery interests you the most?
If you were planning a trout fishing trip does the trout species matter?
When it comes to stocked species what is your preference?

I fish several lakes that have multi species. Fisheremen get a real kick outta something different that rainbows.
I listened to a guy whooping it up who caught s 12” tiger on Beaver this fall. He had come to Beaver for a chance to catch a Tiger.
I have meet anumber of people who go to Mitchell to catch browns and could care less about the tiny rainbows.

All of the above
Actually I do not need another rainbow fishery so anything but that. As for the rest of the species I'm actively searching for fisheries for all of them. You should add cutthroat and the other char species to the list as well. Some of them I've satisfied a bit this year but looking for another good brookie fishery as well as others on the list.

I travel east for 2 reasons species & SIZE.Now that AB. has Tigers ,i may not have to go that far east.It really is tragic the the govt.,couldn't have got there ducks in a row.To protect them.Browns are also high on my list,as are brook trout.But the latter definitely needs regs & tripoloided fish to it least reach some sizes>12".

Those days are over. They have varied limits now. Much like anywhere else.

Yes.
Not sure I make sense of the poll. Why no cutthroat? They're in lakes as well...
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.

Short poll however the results strongly point to Albertans NOT wanting monoculture fisheries when it comes to stocked trout.
I expected and / or hoped for that. So maybe times will change and multi species stocking will become the norm.
