Description of Brook Trout
Brook trout are native to the eastern United States and Canada. Two strains of
brook trout exist, and both are now found in North Carolina. The southern
strain, although identical in appearance to the northern strain, is genetically
unique and is native to North Carolina. The brook trout is greenish brown, often iridescent, with
light red spots on its sides. It has dark, wavy, worm-like lines
on the back and white edges on the fins, including the tail.
