That is so very true. It makes it hard to preserve the integrity of the original native species.

Also looks like a brook trout.

Wrong coloring for a brook trout. Actually I believe Charlykilo is correct. Apache trout.

Hell, Gordon; there is absolutely 0% chance, that I'll be within casting distance of them, by this afternoon! ... All the same, I DO appreciate "being forced to" get educated, once in a while.

Joe Beaderman Loc: Adams Nebraska

We used to call them Brook Trout.

I don’t think the lower jaw extends far enough back to be a cut.

Graywulff Loc: Cortez,Co.

This is what I could find: Brown trout, Brook trout, Golden trout, Rainbow trout, Cutthroat. Couldn't find one of Gordon's that I could copy but I do believe Charlykilo is correct, Apache trout.

Brown trout. They get stocked in rivers and ponds here in maryland. Spinner lures , salmon eggs, worms and my favorite Velveeta cheese are used for bait. I don't fly fish so I wouldn't know about lures for that.

Hybrid golden-rainbow trout

MadPole Loc: Woodstock Ga

BAIT!! Back in Florida we used fish a lot bigger then that for bait. Hard to understand the time, energy and funds to target something that small. But I'm in Georgia now and have to set my expectations on a lower scale. I guess if you are starving???

Charlykilo got it right.




The Apache Trout is one of only two trout native to Arizona. Designated as Arizona’s State Fish, the Apache trout was historically found only in the headwaters of the White, Black and Little Colorado rivers above 5,900 feet. Once nearing extinction, Apache Trout has been restored to much of their historic range in the White Mountains after decades of cooperative protection and recovery efforts. Apache Trout have an olive-yellow body, with a yellow or golden belly. They can grow up to 20 inches long, but most grow only to 9 inches because of the smaller streams in which they live.








Apache Trout Species Status Report











The Apache Trout was first listed as an Endangered Species on March 11, 1967 (32 FR 4001). It was down-listed to threatened in July 1975 (40 FR 29863, Final Special Rule, 17.44(a)) based on recovery actions and a reanalysis of data. The down-listing allowed state, tribal, and federal agencies and partners to conduct management actions under the Recovery Plan, regulate take of the species, and establish sport fishing opportunities. The Recovery Plan was completed in 1979, revised in 1983 and again in 2009. Historically, Apache Trout occupied streams and rivers in the upper White, Black, and Little Colorado River drainages in the White Mountains of east-central Arizona. Currently, 27 pure (non-hybridized) Apache Trout populations exist within their historical range in Gila, Apache, and Greenlee counties of Arizona, on lands of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation (FAIR) and Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest (ASNF).
