The brown
trout’s body
has dark
spots on a
lighter
background,
and has
black spots
on its
dorsal fin.

The
brown
trout
was
introduced
to
the
United
States
from
Europe
and
was
moved
across
the
country
to
the
west.
Brown
trout
are
found
in
only
a
few
places
in
northwestern
Montana,
but
they
are
common
in
the
Clark
Fork
drainage
in
south
and
central
western
Montana.
Brown
trout,
like
bull
trout,
are
fall
spawners.
They
compete
with
bull
trout
for
food,
space,
and
in
some
cases,
spawning
areas.

by a
