The Colorado trout known generally as the cut throat, mountain trout or black spotted trout is the fish most sought by tourists and natives in the western mountains. Concerning this fish Shields said: " The habits as well as color and shape of the Rocky Mountain trout vary in different waters but in all cases are different from those of the eastern brook trout. The latter loves to hide under a log, a drift or a rock while the former seeks an open riffle or rapid for his feeding or lounging ground and when alarmed takes refuge in some deep or open pool, but rarely or never under a rock or log. Fontinalis is a lover of dark, shady nooks while clarkii always prefers the sunniest parts of lake or stream. The eastern trout feeds well into the night while his mountain cousin suspends operations promptly at sunset. |
