Country Artist Figure "Rainbow Trout" - It was a life-long love of nature and a definite flair for experimenting that led to the creation of Country Artist . In 1978, at it's beginning, Country Artist was a typical cottage industry with materials for those first products literally mixed on the kitchen table in a small cottage in Tanworth-In-Arden England. Today Country Artist are still designed in England, and with shipments to seventeen countries around the globe these beautiful works of art are now enjoyed the world over. Stone resin construction. Make sure you see the entire animal line we carry, measuring between 2 1/2" and 3" tall for a fraction of the price you will find elsewhere.
The rainbow trout (Oncorhnchus mykiss), aka redband trout, is a species of Pacific salmon (1989) native to tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. The ocean going (anadromous) form (including those returning for spawning) are known as steelhead, or ocean trout (Australia). The species has been introduced for food or sport to at least 45 countries, and every continent except Antarctica. In some of these locations, such as Australia, they have had very serious negative impacts on upland native fish species. The species was originally named by Johann Julius Walbaum in 1792. In 1855, W. P. Gibbons found a population and named it Salmo iridia, however this name became deprecated once it was determined that this was a population of the already named species.
