BROWN TROUT

Brown Trout like primarily high-gradient freshwater streams and lakes. It originally was native to Europe and western Asia, but was introduced to North America in 1883 and now is one of the most widespread trout. The young feed on aquatic insects while the adults feed primarily on other fish. Brown Trout is difficult to catch and as a food fish is not as highly regarded as Brook Trout.
