The Trout of the Great West 145 



trout very blue, with crimson spots on the side of the body 

 only. This again has notable forms or varieties, the most 

 distinct being the Lac de Marbre trout, Salvelinus marstoni. 



The brown trout of England and of Europe, Salmo 

 erioxo or Salmo fario or Salmo trutta, the trout of Izaak 

 Walton, is also widely introduced in American waters. It 

 varies much with different waters, the Lock Leven trout, 

 Salmo levenensis, being only a pale lake variety of the 

 same fish, losing its supposed characters when bred in 

 brooks. In all its forms, the European trout may be known 

 by having scarlet spots, round or horseshoe-shaped, on its 

 sides, mixed up with the black ones. 



The species is nearest related to the rainbow trout, among 

 the American species, but he is not much of an angler who 

 cannot tell the difference. 



But with all the rest we may commend it to the true 

 angler. And the true angler is not the one who loves to fish, 

 or who catches fish, or catches many fish, or many large 

 fish. The true angler is one who loves fish well enough to 

 know one kind from another.
