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.

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.

I'm pretty sure a splake is a cross between a brook trout and a lake trout. 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.

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.

Ever see one of these John? No sir, not in Pennsylvania during the 20 years I fish there back in the mid 60s to mid 80s. 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!
