Its been 20 years since I've Trout fished, but decided to have at it this year. The Trout in the pic is the second one like this that I've caught, that I figure is a Brook trout but is different than the others I've been catching. Weird dark color and missing spots.

Odd shape also, deep down thru. Blueish/ purple tint.

Brookies have orange and white fins.

I've caught quite a few brook trout, but never one that looked like that color-wise. Did you catch it in a stream or lake? It wouldn't be a splake, would it? I'm pretty sure a splake is a cross between a brook trout and a lake trout.

The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Caught in a mountain stream, but stream is stocked by the Fish Comm.

I googled Splake Trout Trapper and it looks close to the second up in this pic. Top one too.

Close, maybe.

The pic I found of a Splake has the gill markings closer than the pic I found of a Tiger.

Guess I could call my BIL who ran the cold water division of the Fish Comm. Until he retired. I haven't ragged on him for quite awhile. grin

Splake and tiger trout are both hybrids, and markings can really vary a lot with hybrids. Looks more like a splake, but I would think it's location would point towards a tiger trout.

Put-n-take. They put them in, you, take them out. Sterile hybrid raised in a tank for your angling enjoyment.
We have them here too. frown

Yep, they get to meet the board he's posing on.

The crick I was at has loads of Natives...bait stealing thieves! lol

I caught two natives today and two the last time I went up in there.

Not my pic but exactly like the ones native here.

But that little bait thief sure is a pretty brook trout.

hippie, now you got me fired up to go fish some brook trout in a small stream I took some nuisance beaver out of. They dammed the little stream and flooded out the trail he takes to get to his deer stand. He said there were brook trout in there and I was welcome anytime to fish it. My wife sold my trout creel at a garage sale. I didn't think I'd be stream trout fishing anymore. Dang!
