Need Southeast Alaska Brook Trout Photo!

[Michael Strahan]

Hey folks, if any of you have a good photo of a brook trout from southeast Alaska that you would not mind us publishing on the site here, please let me know. Here are the stipulations:

Good color (prefer spawning phase)
Fish must come from Southeast Alaska
Good, unrestricted profile view of fish

If you have something like this, send me a PM or email the photo to the email address listed in my signature line.

Thanks!

Grew up in Southeast and don't remember ever hearing of a brook trout population. Fished a lot of streams in ABC (Admiralty Baranof Chichagof) group, mostly Chatham side. Do you have intel to the contrary?

Michael, they are here but the place I caught them about 15 years ago is on the mainland at the head of our island. I'm not sure I can dig those prints up but will try.

Yes, ADF&G shows them in several rivers and lakes in the Ketchikan Management Area.

We have Brook Trout in several lakes around town here in Sitka. Does size matter? I needed an excuse to go catch some trout, I could certainly take a picture of one I catch in the near future If you would like.
