"brown trout are closely related to atlantic and landlocked varieties"
Tax, is there a diffrence between landlocked and atlantics?
Sorry for hijackin thread.
From my understanding landlocks are a subspecies of Atlantic Salmon knows as (Salmo solar sebago). I believe part of Canada has another subspecies knows Ouananiche (Salmo solar ouananiche).
Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in. I have experience with brown trout but don't have much experience with landlocked salmon, although we do have some in the Great Lakes.
Did you know Lake Ontario once had a substantial native population of landlocks?
I almost got some landlocks to rear in my trout pond from a local university, but my DNR said no. My DNR seems to be worried about introducing ISA (Infectious Salmon Anemia) although the source was certified disease free, and the fish would have come from an indoor tank. Would have been cool to grow them to 8 to 10 lbs. and get them on hook an line! If they are anything like the skamania steelhead here a good percentage you never get in. Like a stick of dynamite on the end of your line!
My trout pond overflow eventually ends up in Lake Michigan.
