Trout
Trout, along with salmon, are the biggest fish you can catch in the game. They can only be caught in deep water or rivers, and fishing in rapids may give a better chance of catching them. 1 lb of trout can fill nearly all of your hunger bar. Each trout is usually 4-5 lbs, and can be caught in nets.
A pile of 19 6-pound salmons cost one cord to dry or smoke, same as 19 perches or 19 meat cuts. Therefore it's most economical to dry/smoke salmon/trout instead of meat, though it may take a lot of time and equipment to procure more than just a few.
URW Game Encyclopedia description
The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) doesn't have a separate entry for trout, but in the entry on Fishing, it mentions the trout and trout-fishing in the following paragraph:
The fish to be caught depends on the fishing method, equipment and the fishing site. Different kind of fish live in shallow or deep waters, lakes or rivers. Perches, roaches, breams and pikes are the most common fish living in lakes. Salmons are found only in rivers, and especially in rapids during their spawning season. There are also lavarets, trouts, pike-perches and so on.
