The artwork is part of a series that Kilbourne created for George Brown Goode's work "Game Fishes of the United States," which is considered a seminal publication in the field of ichthyology and American natural history illustration. Kilbourne's illustration captures the dynamic moment when a rainbow trout is in the act of taking a fly, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering the fish with scientific accuracy while also conveying the beauty and vitality of the subject.

The chromolithograph is noted for its vibrant coloration and attention to the intricate patterns and hues of the rainbow trout's skin, which reflects Kilbourne's commitment to both artistic excellence and scientific precision. As a work of natural history art, "Rainbow Trout Taking a Fly" serves as an important historical record of American wildlife and the popular angling culture of the late 19th century. Kilbourne's contributions to Goode's publication have been praised for their contribution to the understanding and appreciation of game fish in the United States, and his illustrations remain highly regarded by both art connoisseurs and fishing enthusiasts.

The piece is emblematic of the era's advances in printing technology, particularly in the field of chromolithography, which allowed for the mass production of high-quality color images and played a significant role in the dissemination of scientific knowledge to the public.
