Three Species of Trout In W. N. C.
. _ — - — ———
Rainbow, Brook, Brown
Provide Angler* With
Sport In Local
Stream*
The following article has been pre
pared by Thomas K. Chamberlain of
Brevard, Aquatic Biologist of the Bu
reau of Fisheries, In an endeavor to
better acquaint sportsmen of the dif
ference between the three trout now In
habiting native waters, and to answer
some of the questions most fishermen
would like to know about the brook,
brown and rainbow trout.

Diet. Forest Ranger.
Trout Pioneers And Our Native Trout
We are proud of the fact that our
ancestors traveled from far away places
to live In the particular bit of America
we know best. Here In Western North
Carolina there Is a glorious tradition
of people coming from over-seas to
settlo In the mountains, and later of
other families coming up from South
Carolina to settlo the bottom lands.
To the fishermen of the streams of
Western North Carolina there Is Justi
fiable pride In the gamey trout these
settlers found In the cool mountain
waters, but they can feel an equal pride
In those pioneer trout which also enmo
thousands of miles, some from the east
and seme from the west, to more fully
develop the sporting possibilities of
these streams, once civilization had
come.
For the native trout, also called
speckled trout and brook trout, grand
ns he Is, does not take kindly to the
changes made in his home surround
ings by civilization. He will always
come first In the hearts of his friends,
who would like the brook trout to have
every stream In which he can thrive
satisfactorily all to himself. But the
cutting away of timber has caused the
larger streams to become warmer. This
means less oxygen to breathe and great
er susceptibility to disease. HIs pioneer
cousins, the rainbow and the brown
trout, do not mind this Quite as much.
They can thrive In streams where the
speckled trout can not long exist, and
they are fighting for a place of their
own In the fisherman’s heart.
The speckled trout, although wary.
Is a greedy fish, whose appetite con
tinually runs away with his discretion.
He Is, therefore, the easiest of our trout
to catch. Perhaps some fishermen hate
to have him go because they are not
skilled enough to catch the rainbow
and the brown. The speckled trout Is
a beautiful fish. Whllo his head may
be a bit heavy and his mouth large,
still, his coloration, the olive and black
motllng on his back, the red spots on ,
his side and the white marks on hlsi
paired fins, always give a thrill when
he is freshly daught. HIs scales, too,
are extremely delicate and small and
so buried In the skin that he appears
without any.
The speckled trout Is less Inclined to
change residence than other trout. In
other words he does not move about
much, In a stream. When planted too
thickly In a given section of stream
he will often stay and starve rather
than drop down stream, or move up, to
new feeding grounds. Since he does
best In the small colder streams where
he does not grow large, one seldom j

sees speckled trout In Western North
Carolina larger than one or two pounds.
But In the large cold otreams of Cana
da this same species may reach a
weight of ten pounds.
The rainbow trout Is also an Ameri
can trout, but he was brought from
the far west. It Is Interesting to note
that the ralndow trout Is more closely
related to the brown trout of Europe
than to the speckled trout In fact
one might call the rainbow and brown
trout brothers and the speckled trout
their cousin.
Just as the early settlers who came
to western North Carolina were com
posed of different families, so the
rainbows who came from our far west,
were of several strains from several
localities. Some came from California
streams. Some came from Oregon
waters. Each strain had Its own ap
pearance and characteristics. The first
rainbows brought east might be said to
have corresponded with people of
Gypsy stock. They did not care to
settle down, but persisted In wander
ing. Apparently they drifted down to
the sea and disappeared. Quite likely
among these early rainbows were steel
head trout which look so much like
rainbows only an expert can tell them
apart. Steelheads are the Gypsies
among the rainbow group of trout for
they like to visit the sea, although,
like salmon, they spawn only In fresh
water streams. Be that as it may, the
first plantings of rainbow In the east
were not successful. Many fishermen
feared for a long time that these fish
never would make themselves at home
In eastern streams. But more and
metre rainbows were brought east.
Many were kept In hatcheries, where
perhaps, their wandering spirit was
tamed down. Perhaps these later rain,
bows had less Gypsy blood. Whatever
the reason, It was finally apparent that
rainbows were becoming reconciled to
our eastern streams. Certainly they
are now doing very well. Quite defi
nitely they are making a place for
themselves In the east, but a few still
seem to feel the wander urge, once In
a while.
The rainbow Is a more hardy fish
than Its cousin the speckled trout. As
stated before, the rainbow can stand
the warmer water, so It does better
than- the speckled trout In our larger
trout streams of Western North Car
olina, which are warmer than they
used to be since the removal of the
timber.
The rainbow Is a gamey fish, reach
ing a much larger size than the speck
led trout. Here In the east an occas
ional Individual runs over 10 pounds.
The tendency of the fish, when hooked,
to make frequent leaps from the water,
shaking Its head like a terrier In an
effort to throw out the hook, Is a great
thrill to the angler. Most individual
rainbows have a bright red band along
the body which makes It easy to dis
tinguish and which gives the fish Its
name. It shows up well as the fish
dashes through riffles, where It Is like
ly to be found feeding.
The brown trout, like his brother the
rainbow, came a long way to reach
our streams. Like our own forebears he
crossed the ocean, starting from more
than one locality In Europe. Some
hailed from Bonny Scotland and were
called, at first, Scotlsh lakes trout or
Loch Leven trout. Others were of Ger
man origin and were sometimes called
Von Behr trout. But they have been
In a melting pot of their own In this
country, crossed and recrossed, until
they are all good American trout now,
and we speak of them simply as brown
trout.
Brown trout Is a good name for
them, too. They have a brownish cast
which definitely distinguishes them.
Spotting varies somewhat among them.
Probably this Is due to their different
origins. These planted in the South
Mills River show bright red spots al
most like a speckled trout. However,
the brown trout does not have the
olive green marbling effect on Its back
which Is so characteristic of the speck,
led trout.
rne orown, uae me rainouw, is »
hardy fish, thriving in wanner water
than the speckled trout. However, he
prefers more quiet flowing streams of
some depth, or with deep pools. Also
he prefers the larger forest and moun
tain streams. In such waters he will
make himself master in time, eating
up, or driving out, other trout, and
taking care of himself very well In the
presence of bass.
As his ancestors in Europe had an
acquaintance with fishermen running
over many centuries he has become the
most capable of all trout In looking
after himself where fishing Is heavy.
He is a very wary fish, somewhat
more temperamental in his feeding
habits than other trout. Once in a
while he gets careless, but. an angler
who consistently out-smarts the brown
trout Is a real fisherman Indeed. .
The brown Is a pugnaceous canabalis
tlc fighter who like his brother, the
rainbow, may reach an extreme weight
of over 10 pounds. But one weighing
5 to 7 pounds may be considered a
large fish. In a moderate sized stream
such a fish will often be found In a
pool playing dictator. He not only will
dominate the pool but he eventually has
the pool completely to himself unless
caught, for he will drive out or eat up
all smaller fish which seek to share
the pool with him. The angler will
have considerable difficulty, too, in
getting such a fish to sample his lure.
But once hooked on a light or medium
weight fly rod the angler will have a
fight on his hands he will never for
get, with the chances not altogether
one-sided either.
There are few persistent brown trout
fishermen who cannot tell truthful tales
of smashe 1 rods and many lost flies.
The brow- .8 a late comer to the waters
of Wester i North Carolina, but he Is
very decidedly here now, and is mak
ing his presence more and more felt,
and appreciated, too, by the brother
hood of anglers.
