Since the rainbow and brown trout are so extensively planted it might be well to point out the distinguishing features of each fish so that the young angler may know what he has caught:
Brook Trout — vermiculations or worm-like markings on back; scales almost invisible; mouth large, jaw extending back of eye; single patch of teeth on vomer or roof bone of mouth.
Brown Trout — no vermiculations on back; scales visible; mouth slightly smaller than brook trout; one or two rows of teeth on front and rear parts of vomer; more yellow in coloration; spots red but larger than those of fontinalis and seldom found below median line; tail square.
