Source of more than half of the trout sold in the U.S.

Once upon a time in the mountains of Idaho, there lived a legendary fisherman named Nate. Nate was famous for his incredible fishing skills, and he always caught the biggest, juiciest trout in the river.

One day, a group of traders passing through the town offered to buy Nate’s trout, but he refused. “I only fish for pleasure,” he said. “I couldn’t sell my catches.”

But when the traders offered to pay Nate more than he ever imagined, he had a change of heart. He began to fish for the sake of the trade, and soon enough, he was selling more than half of the trout caught in the region.

People from all over America heard about the delicious trout from Idaho and began to demand them. Nate’s trade became so popular that people started calling it “Idaho trout.” And that’s how Idaho became the source of more than half of the trout sold in the U.S.

Today, Idaho remains a hub for trout fishing and production, providing some of the best trout in the country. And if you ever get a chance to try one of those Idaho trout, know that it all started with Nate, the legendary fisherman who taught us the value of trade and commerce.
