Salmo trutta (Linnaeus) Brown Trout

Original introductions of Brown Trout in Canada came to Newfoundland in 1884 from Loch Leven, Scotland. The European Brown Trout inhabits lakes streams and coastal rivers and has a reputation as a wily game fish with experienced anglers. The Brown Trout was originally introduced to British Columbia from eggs purchased from Wisconsin and Montana in 1932 (Clemens and Wilby 1946). These eggs were hatched in a hatchery, and the fry were deposited in several rivers on Vancouver Island. Many sea-run populations of Brown Trout are currently established and promoted as exotic angling opportunities.
Brown Trout were introduced into the Columbia Basin via the Kettle River system in 1957, and they are occasionally taken by anglers in the West Kettle and Similkameen rivers.
Brown Trout can be identified by the presence of large, dark brown or black spots along the lateral surfaces, surrounded by pigmented halos of blue and red colouration. Unlike other members of the genus Salmo, Brown Trout spawn in the fall and early winter. The gape of the maxillary extends past the margin of the eye and the caudal fin is almost square or slightly forked.
