TROUT FLY-FISHING IN AMERICA 



transplanted from the waters of the west to the waters of 

 the east. 



The Brown Trout and the Brook Trout have thrived 

 and propagated in the western waters, while the Rainbow 

 Trout and the Steelhead Trout have not done so in the 

 eastern waters, except in a very limited degree. 



The species belonging to the genus Salvelinus do not 

 break water when hooked, while the species belonging to 

 the genus Salmo almost always do so. 



Although the Charr is a red-spotted fish and the Trout 

 a black-spotted one (and the spots form a distinguishing 

 characteristic), nevertheless the Brown Trout has some 

 few small red spot markings, but they are not at all like 

 the red spots found on the Charr. 



The Charr has teeth on the upper and lower jawbones 

 as well as on the tongue, while the Trout has teeth only on 

 the rim of the tongue, except the Red Throat, or Cutthroat 

 Trout has in addition "a narrow band of small teeth on the 

 hyoid bone at the base of the tongue," and these differences 

 also are distinguishing characteristics.
