Hallowed Waters

15: Indigenous Brook Trout-Are they America’s Fly Fishing Founding Fish? or not?! Guest: Maine’s Bob Mallard


Listen Later

Part of the “Indigenous, Introductions and Invasive’s ” Series. 

Buckle your seatbelts and prepare for an intense couple of hours all you Salmonid saveurs and fellow Troutbum troubadours as Matthew Supinski, host and publisher of Hallowed Waters Journal and Podcasts; along with guest Bob Mallard take you listeners on a controversial, highly opinionated and riveting podcast that you surely can’t afford to miss! If you love wild brook trout, wild brown trout and rainbows, form your own opinions as the two authors joust opinions about their passions and favorite fish, and what is the right thing in the bigger scheme of things. 

Have we become gods trying to manipulate the natural world in favor of what we love? Have we loved Brook Trout to death and put them on the highest pedestal of glory and worship? Are we being to virtuous and over-zealous when we eradicate other fish for the sake of what we think is pure and natural?

Brook Trout were the poster child fish of the first French fur trappers, colonials and Native Americans – they came to worship and love them. But as indigenous North American Atlantic salmon are on the verge of threatened extinction, and native brook trout populations continue to plummet, are brook trout in climate change’s favor? Can man’s greedy appetite to develop wilderness sanctuary waters someday be the death knell for these amazing game fish? And where do Brown Trout and Rainbows fit in to the mix? Will the more these more aggressive and highly adaptable trout become our universal salmonids of the future?
