BROWN TROUT
Brown trout are native to Europe, but were introduced
to North America before the turn of the century and have
become a popular sport fish in Ohio. They can tolerate
warmer temperatures and lower oxygen levels than other
trout species, allowing them to use a wider range of habitats.
Preferred habitat includes areas of boulders, cobble, logs,

rootwads, and overhead cover. Brown trout will feed in riffles
containing rocks and gravel. Brown trout generally do not reproduce
successfully in Ohio. Division of Wildlife fish hatcheries
rear brown trout for about one year (six to seven inches)
before stocking them.
