Brook Trout
Brook trout are a rare
catch in Arkansas,
with only a few sporadic stockings over the last few decades.
"Brookies" are short-lived, and a one-pounder is considered large.
They have a dark body with white
and/or red spots circled by blue. The pectoral, pelvic and anal fins are often
orange with a distinct white
edge. The dorsal fin, tail and back have mottled, wormlike streaks on a black
background.
