It's a speckle for sure, I could barely make out the light and dark vertical bars in the picture which are typical of a juvenile speckle. They lose the bars as they age. It's usually more pronounced on the smaller ones, from what I read years ago, they disappear when the fish hits sexual maturity.

People think that natural hybridization doesn't occur. I catch tiger muskie quite often and we definitely don't have a stocking program for them here.
But yeah thats a speck haha
Nope it's a Brookie.
Natural hybridization obviously occurs, its just far more prevalent in some fish (like muskie/pike) then others (salmonids). Part of the reason is that brook trout arent actually a trout, they're a char, and not all that closely related to true trout.Quote:
