File application/x-troff-ms Evaluation of Wild Brook Trout Populations in Vermont Streams
Wild brook trout populations in Vermont streams appeared to be relatively stable over a period of five decades as evidenced in this evaluation of 150 sites. Present-day brook trout populations sampled in 138 streams within 17 watersheds were characterized by abundant natural reproduction and multiple age-classes, including the contribution of older, larger fish. While most population measures were consistent between the two time periods, significantly higher densities of young-of-year brook trout were observed in current populations which may reflect improved environmental protections initiated since the 1950s. A decline in sympatric brown trout and rainbow trout sites also suggest that non-native trout populations have not appreciably expanded over the past 50 years.

Find Your Niche
The wild Brook Trout is an iconic symbol of pristine waters as it’s only found in the healthiest streams, rivers, lakes and ponds. Unfortunately, poor land and water use practices are severely affecting water quality and quantity and as a result, wild Brook Trout populations are declining throughout its native range in the eastern portion of the U.S. However, the good news is the plight of wild Brook Trout is reversible. By working collaboratively we can ensure there is enough clean water to conserve wild Brook Trout, sustain outdoor recreation, generate economic vitality, and provide inherent values for generations to come.

Regional Brook Trout Threats
Brook Trout populations have severely declined across their native range due to a multitude of threats. Brook Trout are indicators of cold clean water and their decline is the result of degraded habitat and invasive species.
