Hi All,

When I was a kid, we always referred to Brown trout
as "German" Browns. I have not heard that expression
in years. Just out of curiosity, why'd we stop calling
the "German" Browns and now just call them "Browns"?

We called them "Loch Levens"


Wikipedia gives me a lake: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loch_Leven

Were your "Loch Levens" native to the area or were they imported
from Germany?

from Scotland, see http://www.lochwinnochac.net/Trout/leven.html
