Very nice. I love those salters. Thanks
That's a beautiful brook trout. Nice looking water too.
I've just found Smallstream. com is open again, and found this post.
What a great looking fish!
So, brookies can go down to the sea.
Could you tell me how you can tell this is a sea-run form? Usually, sea-run salmonids appear more silvery in body color. I'm just curious, because I've never been heard of sea-run brook trout before.

While in the salt they do change to a pale coloration but take on their brook trout colors once entering fresh water.
This guy was taken and released in late September at the tide water mark.

I used to think brook trout might be the only salmonid species without any relation to the sea. Now I know they are also like other salmonids, able to migrate to the seawater. Thank you for not only beautiful, but a very informative report.
