can some one help me confirm this fish. - jeremypeace - 06-27-2016

Now I've caught millions of brook trout, but today I got one that looks totally different than what I am used to. This is indeed a brookie right? I'm not sure what else it could be.

Kind of looks like a splake but likely a brooky.
Here is a pic of a Brook trout and one of a Splake.

Yep, pretty little Brook trout! They come in various Shades and colors. Similar to how brown trout can be almost silver in color or dark yellow to Brown....

Looks like a brookie to me. Certainly fun to catch and lots of color. Hope you caught a good batch.

Def a brook. Splake will have atleast a little fork in the tail. If it was Idaho I would say 100% brook since they don't do the splake thing and there aren't many places that the macks and brooks overlap up there for it to naturally occur.
