Habitat Brown Trout prefer cold, well-oxygenated waters. Their tolerances are lower than those of rainbow trout. They favour large streams in mountainous areas that provide cover like rocks, banks with undercuts and overhanging plant life.

What do they Look Like? The Brown Trout is the only salmon or trout with orange on the adipose fin. They sport large black, blue or red spots on it's body. These spots are often encircled by a light halo. The tail will have a few spots.
