This link is a good guide to use. Trout like it when the salinity is high.....but anything above about 5 salinity is ok for trout.

But it has to be higher than that for them to spawn... I wanna say my uncle told me it has to be at least 12-15 because the eggs are not buoyant enough in anything less than that

Correct...... I was refering to "finding and catching" trout there should "generally speaking" be at least a 5 salinity.

Remember, surface water may not taste salty [ie. very low salinity] but the water a few feet down [where the trout are] could have a much higher salinaty and hold trout.
