Naturally reproducing, I'll give you, but brook trout
are non-natives, some say trash fish, in the Sierras.

Brookies aren't native to the Sierras?!!

Well......dang.

who, till now, had never given much credence to the old saw that one
learns something every day.
Yes, you are correct Wolfgang, and what I should have said is after their
initial stock back in 1928-1938 (and correct me if those dates are off),
the brook trout where I'll be fishing are natural reproducers.
Trash fish? I suppose if you want to call them that. When I first caught
them, I had mistaken them for the golden trout, because of their
reddish/golden color, but should have known because of the lower altitude.
I do like the taste of the pink meat, very pleasant.
