Brown Trout Taking Over Stream
The brown trout should never be planted in a stream inhabited by native trout unless the conditions are such that the natives are few and small and stocking with them does not materially improve the situation. The brown is a very fast grower and attains a large size, the increase being estimated at about one pound a year. Owing to the omnivorous nature of the brown trout and their larger size, natives and browns do not do well together, the former eventually yielding the stream to the foreigners. Disregard or ignorance of this fact when the brown trout was first introduced into this country is responsible in great part for the prejudice against them. But in streams no longer favorable to fontinalis, and there are many such due to logging operations, pollution, etc., the brown trout, by nature a hardier fish than our native char, will still thrive, and such streams may be made to furnish good sport and a valuable food supply by stocking with brown trout. From timber operations results a rise in temperature in streams flowing through the affected tract. The brown trout thrives in water of a temperature that would be almost prohibitive to the existence of the native.
