Trout Weight The formula to calculate the weight for a trout that is 20 inches long and has a girth of 12 inches is as follows. Trout have a shape factor of 800 and a girth ratio of (.6). WEIGHT = LENGTH x GIRTH² / SHAPE FACTOR WEIGHT= 20 x (12²) / 800 WEIGHT= 20 x 144 / 800 WEIGHT= 2880 / 800 WEIGHT = 3.6 pounds
