Pound for pound Rainbows are great fighters. And as others already mentioned are great looking and can be good eating (from mountain lakes not from pothole's). I like catching most fish, Rainbows are near the top for me.
If you only fish prairie pothole lakes, in my opinion, you haven't experienced what Rainbow trout fishing can be. The Bow River, Lakes in the NP's, or BC's interior as examples really change the game of what Rainbow trout fishing is. Trolling willow leafs or chucking pickerel rigs not so much.
