Beauty of the native!



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! : )

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

Hey Phil,


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!

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