TROUT FLY-FISHING IN AMERICA 



trout with peculiar markings, having a short, blunt head, 

 with large eyes. The spots are only found on the pos- 

 terior part of the body. 



The Spotted Trout 

 Salmo-clarkii-jordani (Meek) 



The Salmon Trout 

 Salmo-clarkii-declivifrons ( Meek) 



Both of these trout are natives of Lake Sutherland, 

 Clallam County, Washington. It is a mountain lake not 

 far from Lake Crescent, but is not connected with it. 

 These two trout were discovered by Dr. Daniel G. Elliot. 



The Yellowstone Trout 

 {Salmo-clarkii-lewisi) 



David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann 

 say: 



"The Yellowstone or Lewis trout inhabits the Snake River 

 basin above Shoshone Falls, and the headwaters of the Missouri. 

 It is abundant throughout this whole region in all accessible waters, 

 and is particularly numerous in Yellowstone Lake. As already 

 stated the trout of Yellowstone Lake certainly came into the Mis- 

 souri basin by way of Two-Ocean Pass from Upper Snake River 

 basin. One of the present writers has caught them in the very act 

 of going over Two-Ocean Pass from Pacific into Atlantic drain- 

 age. The trout on the two sides of the pass cannot be separated, 

 and constitute a single species."

(The Silver Trout) 

 {Salmo-clarkii-gibbsii)
