[RIVERRAT2]

the  domestic brookie is a brookie that has been changed to do well in the hatchery but does not do well
in the wild. lives for about 3 years and does not get real big

the temiscamie brookie is a canadan from around the james bay,gets to 10lb in canada[4 to 5 lb here]
matures at 2 to 3 years old, acid resistant[rain].brightly colored,but does not like to stay put .

What about the little Tupperlake strain or the Whitney strain , any info thanks

[myemmy]

What type is the one Rick beau champ caught ??

[1smoked_brooklyn]

I believe beau champ's fish was a temiscamie strain.. As Rat said they can still thrive in lakes prone to acid rain and Silver lake area had a history of that. Whether or not the fish really came from silver lake specifically or the silver lake wilderness area is a matter of believing Mr. Beauchamp. I mean, why would anyone willingly give up their hot spot...

great stuff Rat, interesting and informative... thanks for sharing

Rat ,really appreciate your knowledge on this  and look forward to learning more on this topic,
my personal best was a windfall strain ,just a beautiful specimen ,from long lake area as well
Always wonder why many look at a brown trout as a true native,none are ,but a brookie is in Northeast mainly
how many strains are there,I've read a lot about it but really want to know just how many fall native to the state of new york,I've seen some studies say just two,a north and south strain
Nothing saying new york only ,just over all to where they migrated after the ice done it's deed many moons ago
