I consider the brown trout a fine fish. He is a good fighter; a high leaper and he rises more willingly to flies than any other trout; he thrives in waters not suitable for other trouts; he is handsome and good to eat. What more can we ask of a fish? OTHER TROUT Our western states have a confusing variety of trout. Local names bewilder the " tenderfoot from the effete east" but for the sake of convenience most of these fishes have been placed in three distinct series. Besides the rainbow and its five sub-species there is the cut throat trout (Salmo clarkii) and 12 subspecies and the steel head trout (Salmo gairdneri) and three sub-species. These fishes are all salmon trout, the only charr native to the Rocky Mountain waters being the bull trout. |
