As I understand it, all the rainbow (save steelhead) and brown trout
were
brought to this country.
The main native trout were Cuts and Brooks (I know, not really a
trout)
and
the sea run stuff.


Rainbows are native to the western United States.
Including the chars, Cutthroats, Dolly Varden, Lake, Brook trout are
all native to the United States. The Brown trout was introduced from
Europe.

The Rainbow Trout was introduced in Arizona in 1898.

Rainbows are native to the UNITED STATES.
Specifically the northern west coast.
The first state that received a shipment for transplant was New York State
in 1874.
Arizona got theirs in 1898.
I was addressing the incorrect statement that "As I understand it, all the
rainbow (save steelhead) and brown trout
were brought to this country."
