Brook Trout

Also known by some as the "Speckled Trout", a healthy Brook Trout shines with iridescent copper-coloured scales and beautiful bright speckles of gold and red.

Some ecologists believe that Brook Trout are the among best indicator species for water quality in Southern Ontario streams.

Requiring comparatively cold, clean habitat, Brook Trout like the naturally cooled and filtered water that percolates up from the Moraine's giant aquifer, filling the many water courses that originate on it.

Brook trout may be easily displaced by larger, more aggressive fish like stocked rainbow trout or brown trout.
