I was speaking in the sense that the brown trout of today (with notable
exceptions) are a wild (if transplanted) fish. Naturally reproducing for
some many generations and that they were not the product of 'modern'
hatcheries....hatcheries having somewhat of a ....tarnished...reputation in
my book.

That by and large the trout you catch today have genetically adapted to
their environment and aren't something released every year in every river
system.

I guess to get technical we should find out if the eggs Seth got from Europe
were..'Hatchery' eggs or eggs from the harvesting of wild brown trout.

anybody?....john
