I caught 4 of these yesterday in about an hour at Pioneer Pond in Brigham. I know it is a trout but don't know what kind. What is it? I caught them and one catfish dropshotting a ice fly tipped with worm. Sorry about the leafs, he got away from me when I was taking the picture.

It's a brood stock Brook Trout that was raised at the Egan Hatchery down by Fish Lake
The Egan Hatchery doesn't raise Splake, because Splack are sterile and Egan is the hatchery that produces almost if not all of the eggs used in all Utah hatcheries.
Splake are produced at the Egan Hatchery but they don't have mature Splake there.

Isn't Pioneer posted as an under age 14 pond?

It is mayors pond that is for the kids and 14 and under. Pioneer pond is a comunity fishing area. There are lot of those brood fish in there right now. Most of them look like they have lived a few to many years. There finds are all beat up and they look like they have seen better days. They are fun to catch though.

Brook trout. You can tell from the blue halo spots. Were they very big?

Brook Trout and it looks old and beat up because it was raised in the hatchery. It probably isn't very old at all.

thats new to me. If that is the case I have never heard of that being inforced. On any given day you can see familys with both young and old fishing. Good to know.
