Trout
Trout — bright fish of clear streams — often touch growing prosperity, with assured pleasure if you catch one and grief if they swim in muddy water. The dream may ask where good fortune is rising within reach, and whether you can land it cleanly or whether clouded waters turn your success in love toward disappointment.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for trout, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of seeing trout, is significant of growing prosperity. To eat some, denotes that you will be happily conditioned.
To catch one with a hook, foretells assured pleasure and competence. If it falls back into the water, you will have a short season of happiness.
To catch them with a seine, is a sign of unparalleled prosperity.
To see them in muddy water shows that your success in love will bring you to grief and disappointments.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of catching trout is an excellent omen, as it foretells that you will get money—the larger the trout, the more cash you will receive.
