An Athabaskan Rainbow. Not those transplanted interlopers from California but a real raised in Alberta trout.
Doggone it boy, clean up your act.

Fish in the poll are treated at the specific level.
Has the taxonomy of the athabaskan rainbow trout been elevated?

drum roll please, the win to pike.( head hung in shame) the most wide spread game fish in the northern hemisphere. world class alberta pike... well on that's not right if you want world class pike you go to sweden or manitoba perhaps even northern ontario. but not alberta. walleye, no manitoba,bay of quinte or tobin lake sask.
rainbows real world class bows,let me see oh. just over the mountains southeastern BC gods country, home of the mighty gerard rainbow that would be world class. lakers, well every one knows the the great and lesser slaves contain the largest. Bow river
brown that must be the one.... no you would go to tasmania or scotland for world class browns or even new zealand for brown reaching in to the twentys. pounds that is.
what is Alberta to do, what fish could we have that you cant catch any where else that grow to a size folks would pay to fish.... Cutthroat, big beautiful cutties from the shoulders of the rockies, in streams and rivers that embodied the west, cold& clean like an alberta morning.... my. 02¢

they sure do, lots of them. fair sized fish to. they come form all over to fish for cutties as well as bullies. in my opinion they just want easy access to decent sized fish which the bow provides, combat fishing the bow is hardly our premier experience. perhaps popular is more correct.

Hey Bee...
George Sterling, the regional from Edson has been checking Athabaskas. Pure strain everywhere. Not like those Rainbows in southern Alberta that have cutthroat blood in 'em and may have come from steelhead stock. Damn cross-dressers.

I'd probably put trout in general at number one just because there are so many options/species available to fish
but pike are no doubt a close second for the scrap they put up at the end of last summer i was happy to have only landed a 18.5 inch pike
not that i didnt try for more

All it means is that if you'd like to vote for rainbow trout, it is the first option.

I haven't a clue whether or not George Published the data. No reason to less you're angling for a Masters or PHD.
Otherwise, the data is used to make management decisions.
