Brook Trout in Dixie

By Jimmy Jacobs

The native Southern Appalachian Brook Trout figure prominently in the lore and legend of the uplands of the South. In recent years it has been discovered that the fish also differ from their northern cousins. Just as the sons and daughters of the South are a different breed from the inhabitants of the Yankee states.

The brookies represent a bell weather species that tell us much about the condition of the habitat in which they live. It has been a story of decline that stretches back more than a century.

Today, however, the corner is being turned in saving and bringing these colorful fish back throughout their original range. From Virginia to North Georgia things are looking up for the native brook trout.
