    There are actually 2 types of Brown Trout.
    They were brought over by German and Scottish settlers
    in large wooden barrels. The 2 trout had distinguishable
    differences when first brought over.

    The Loch Leven Scottish brown was different than the
    German brown. Loch Leven browns were differently
    marked. LL Browns had no red spots.

    Scottish heritage.

    The 2 breeds of browns have intermingled through the years
    and it is hard to tell a species from the other.


    German Brown lines.

    The best way to tell if they are German or Scottish is if they
    are wearing Leder Hosen or a Kilt.

    the net photo was taken with a borrowed Olympus about 12 years ago.

    The other was taken with my first Sony. It had a floppy disc drive.
