My brother SN just sent me those photos from Boston area. What a lucky guy! What a wonderful creek with native brookie thriving in there! (and occasionally some sea run brook trout!!) Just awesome! : )
You are right, brook trout are only native in the eastern side of North America. In the west, you have a similar, bigger species - Bull trout! They are all belong to the char family and they can hybridize with each other which can cause some serious issues.
BTW, I had a chance to visit Oregon and Idaho region in this summer and lucky enough had a chance to meet the bull trout, True magnificent fish!
My brother actually hooked one sea run brookie last week,lucky him. He has been fly fishing for... only.. one month! May I say rookie's luck! Oh... he is getting into advanced fly fishing BTW.
I am a biologist grew up with a fishing rod in my hands. I have been fortunate enough to embrace my love of art and science in my career. Most of my free time were well spent in the nature, either studying bird behavior or chasing variety of fish with fly rods. My favorite art medium is watercolors, I love the natural and spontaneous feel created by watercolor pigments. I am currently a post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard University.

I love Brook trout! I don't think there are any native here in Oregon, but I still like them.

Sea run brook trout?! i would love to run into one of these, or better yet hook into one.
