Various strains of Brown trout
One of the things I like about this site is seeing the different trout form all over. I found this site interesting, it shows different strains of brown trout throughout Europe.

Cool.
The Turkish and Slovenia Marmoratus get my vote as the most exotic looking. The latter almost looks like a char with the vermicular markings on it's back.

I recently read James Proseks "Fly Fishing the 41st," much of the book is devoted to his experiences searching for rare strains of native brown trout in Europe, Anatolia, and Central Asia with Johannes Schoffmann, an amateur biologist. Unfortunately there weren't any photos, so that link is cool to see. The red spots on the Corsican trout which he described in the book are really exceptional. I think the most exotic is probably the soft mouth trout from the Balkans of which there are several varieties; http://www.balkan-trout.com/studied_tax ... eretva.htm

Strange fish, with a mouth like that it makes you think of a grayling.

The lenok and the soft mouth trout seem to have a really similar adaptation for bottom feeding to some of the sucker-mouthed cyprinid fish commonly found in N. America (various kinds of suckers and chubs).
