I own and have read thru some of the Nick Karas book. There is a lot of info on brookies in there. Its a good book. I hope to read all of it soon.
I caught an identical brookie on the wb Neversink, it really stood out to me cause of the 100's I have gotten there, they were always olive in color
I recieved a response to a request to identify the trout in the photo.
Recieved from a CT Fisheries biologist.
There is quite a range in the natural coloration of the wild brook trout.
This is due to age, sex, diet, sexual maturity, time of year, substrate color, and tannic vs clear water.
The fish in the photo appears to be on the bluish end of the normal range of coloration.
So I guess its a brookie and not a blueback.

Thats what I expected. Still a beautiful trout though. Thanks for the follow up.
Interestingly enough, brook trout of that coloration are fairly normal for the small streams of NJ. Here is an very dark specimen I got on a stream that is only 2 feet wide mostly but has a lot of depth. You cant fish a nymph really here, the cover is so tight all you can really do is swing streamers downstream and skate dries, you have to use the current to your advantage and be creative with your presentation.
All these pictures of brookies are really getting my heart going. I can't wait for the April 1st opener. We should have a sticky made of favorite small stream trout photos.
:D
Thanks chef, nice pics.
There is a good article on this mysterious little char in the March edition of Fly Rod and Reel.
