Resolution Criteria

This market will resolve to the specific type of fish Travis McKraken catches next. The market creator will be the sole judge of resolution. For a "Yes" resolution, the fish must be unequivocally identified as one of the listed species or the 'Other' option.

• If Travis McKraken does not catch a fish that can be identified, this market will resolve to N/A.

• If multiple fish are caught simultaneously on the same cast or attempt, the market will resolve to the species of the first fish brought to hand or clearly identified by the market creator.

Background

The market asks about the next fish Travis McKraken will catch from a list of common freshwater and anadromous species:

• Chinook Salmon: Also known as King Salmon, these are anadromous, meaning they hatch in freshwater, spend their adult lives in the ocean, and return to freshwater to spawn. They are native to the North Pacific and have been introduced to areas like the Great Lakes. They are the largest Pacific salmon species.

• Coho Salmon: Also known as Silver Salmon, these are anadromous and found throughout the North Pacific, including coastal streams and rivers from Alaska to central California. They have also been introduced to the Great Lakes.

• Lake Trout: These freshwater char primarily inhabit deep, cold, oxygen-rich lakes in northern North America, including Canada, Alaska, and the Northeastern United States. They can also be found in deep freshwater rivers that feed into large lakes.

• Rainbow Trout: Native to cold-water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean from Mexico to the Russian Far East. Some populations are resident in freshwater, while anadromous (sea-run) forms are known as steelhead. They prefer well-oxygenated, often fast-flowing water.

• Brown Trout: A widely distributed species native to much of Europe, West Asia, and parts of North Africa, also extensively introduced globally. They inhabit cold freshwater streams, rivers, and lakes, with a migratory form known as sea trout.

• Bluegill: A popular North American freshwater fish, commonly found in streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, and wetlands east of the Rocky Mountains, and widely introduced elsewhere. They prefer shallow, warm, quiet waters with aquatic vegetation or underwater structures.

Considerations

As Travis McKraken is not a publicly known angler with accessible fishing records, the market's resolution will depend entirely on the market creator's attestation of the catch. The "Other" option will be automatically included for any fish type not explicitly listed.
