Nice TR, but there are no native browns in Pennsylvania.

That coincides with my own personal taxonomy of trout.

Stocker - fish from the hatchery
Holdover - hatchery fish which have survived from previous seasons
Wild - offspring and descendants of hatchery or planted fish
Native - in the stream by the hand of god and nothing else

According to my taxonomy there are no native browns in North America.
But wild will do. ;-)

yes, you two nitpickers are correct. I should have used stream-bred
browns. Which have been around long enough to consider themselves Berks
County natives by nowg.
