In 05, the hatchery manager at shepard, told me this story about missouri's choice for brown trout. Originally they started with the same strain of german that arkansas has. They soon discovered that this fish had a terrible survival rate because it was aggressive and easy to catch. They settled on a fish that was basically scared of its own shadow. That fish was and still is, as far as I know, the Sheep Creek strain. I do not know where it originates from. And recently Phil told me that they are experimenting with the triploid brown. If i can recall correctly, the seaforellen fish is from scotland. Off the subject, I would also like to see a triploid rainbow introduced.
