Brook Trout: Frequently gullible, yet extremely tasty, Brook
Trout are wonderful trout to fish for - especially since they
frequently inhabit the most beautiful stream settings in the U.S.
The Brook Trout was originally found in the Midwest and along the
East Coast. It is sort of the Eastern counterpart to the Western
Cutthroat trout – with its range extending all the way from
Canada down to the streams in Georgia. Interestingly, the Brook
Trout is not even part of the trout family, but instead belongs
to the Char family of fish that also includes the Lake Trout and
Dolly Varden.
Brook Trout live in clear, cold waters. Due to the cold waters
and the fact that Brook Trout live a shorter life generally than
rainbow and Brown Trout, Brook Trout usually do not grow nearly
as big.
Today, most of the best Brook Trout fishing is no longer found
out East.
The cold, clear water that Brook Trout prefer no longer exists
like it use to. Instead, Brook Trout are mainly found in the
Western United States (mainly due to transplanting) in the colder
rivers and lakes of the Rocky Mountains - especially in higher
lakes that often require hiking to reach. Canada also continues
of provide excellent fishing for Brook Trout, while Argentina is
now also home to some of the worlds’ largest Brook Trout.
Brook Trout are also small due to another factor – over planting.
Brook Trout have been so extensively planted in many lakes and
streams that there are starting to be too many of them. This
overcrowding often leads to stunted growth. Of course, the plus
side of this is that these small Brook Trout are extremely easy
to catch and they taste good, too! Of all the trout in the world,
for the angler who absolutely must take home some fish at the end
of the day, taking home some Brook Trout is a good way to satisfy
the palette without compromising the overall fishing quality.
The Brook Trout is a beautiful fish. It’s sides and back consist
of various shades of gunmetal gray, with highlights of orange,
red and cream spots. The fins of a Brook Trout also have a white
edge around them and during spawning season, the bottom of the
Brook Trout turns a beautiful orange-red color.
