I am planning a trip next year (coming from Texas). Does anyone know any great trails in old-growth forests and/or "rainforest" type forests, with some good trout fishing? Any loop-trails?

I agree that the Olympics are the place to go. The Sol Duc Valley has some great forest, and if you do the High Divide Loop, the views are good too.
You can't beat the Olympic Mountains for old growth trails. The Duckabush is a good old growth trail. You should also look into the Quinalt River, which can be connected with the Skokomish to form a loop. Don't know about the fishing though.
