That is what we called brookies, the spotted pattern and red dots gave them away. I used to fish them in the streams that were under bridges headed over to my godfather's place in Grandby CO. Would cook them in foil with a little salt and pepper and maybe some onion if I had one. Would place them on the edge of the campfire near the coals, great lunch, or even breakfast.
I think I caught that one in 2014, she was particularly pretty so had to have a pic.
Here, we have Rainbows, Brookies and Browns. The stream and elevation kinda determines which species you're gonna catch. Rainbows are by far the most common but there's plenty of Brookies in the high elevation streams if you know where to look. The Browns are much more uncommon and difficult to catch.
We used to fish Pearl Lake for browns. Pearl is before you get to Steamboat lake. Colorado.

the tiny Appalachian strain of brook trout are the prettiest fish alive, in my opinion. catch them in late September/early October when they are spawning, and the colors of a live one in your hand will stun you.
Agreed! I stay out of the streams when they're spawning but I like to get on them prespawn.the tiny Appalachian strain of brook trout are the prettiest fish alive, in my opinion. catch them in late September/early October when they are spawning, and the colors of a live one in your hand will stun you.
