The guy who caught this fish posted this pic on another forum I follow and said that it was a brown trout. I do not live in an area with trout water so my knowledge of identifying the species is not exactly...anyhow, looking through some magazines and stuff, this fish looks like a brookie. If it is a brown, what is the difference in the coloring that I am missing. Also, multiple people replied to his thread and no one said that it wasn't a brown.
