Blueback Trout Species

Fri, 08/31/2012 - 11:12 -- jmaslar

I was talking to a good customer of Trout University yesterday and he told me about blueback trout which I had never heard of before. It seem that he is from Vermont and fishes a great deal in Northwest Maine where he came across the blueback trout. It is actually a char and it is believed that is of European descent. The blueback trout  is native to the headwaters of the St. John and Penobscot rivers, Black Lake, Deboullie Lake, Gardner Lake, Purshineer Pond, Big Reed Pond, and Rainbow Lake. It has been stocked in Idaho, other parts of Maine, New Hampshire Massachusetts and New York.
