Where are brook trout found?


assistant
Native brook trout can be found in eastern North America, from northeastern Canada, and down the eastern seaboard as far south as the state of Georgia in the United States, where they are found in many high-elevation streams. Despite being native to those regions, brook trout can also be found throughout the rest of the world where populations are managed by hatcheries and stocked into local fisheries.
