Hey everyone,

I've been pondering a question about trout teeth lately and thought I'd bring it up here. Do trout have teeth? It's something that's been on my mind since my last fishing trip, where I noticed a slight abrasion on my line after reeling in a particularly feisty trout.


I've heard conflicting information about whether trout actually have teeth or if it's just their rough jaws causing the damage.

Can anyone shed some light on this? And if they do have teeth click here to read, what purpose do they serve in their ecosystem?
Looking forward to your insights!

thanks in advance for any help

 

they do have teeth! most trout i've seen have teeth on their tongue and the roof of the mouth. i have always thought that it's for holding on to prey so it can't wiggle out.
