So what is a Brookie?


The brook trout is the only native trout species to Pennsylvania. I guess this is only partially true, as a brookie is not a true trout, but in the char family. Native to all of PA, it has slowly been pushed to the headwater streams by thermal pollution and competition from introduced brown and rainbow trout. This fish was caught from a small tributary to the Clarion River.
