Brook trout and tiger trout in the Bear River and lower Summit Creek near Smithfield about 1999. A private hatchery nearby raised both species. My friend caught the tiger trout. We figured that the tiger trout and possibly the brook trout escaped into the Bear River and swam up Summit Creek. I know there's some brookies in some of the tributaries on the national forest. I've caught some on the Cub River in Idaho. Either way a brook trout was still suprising. I heard stories of people catching several species of trout where the spring that serves the hatchery enters the Bear.
