Information on this post seems to be very nice reading.

DEEP Announces New Inland Sportfish Regulations Focused on Conserving Wild Brook Trout

Is the title of the news release.
Too hard to find on the NANFA site!!!!.
Sorry.
(But it is an interesting group.)

Here is the document that is for the brook trout preservation program by the state of Connecticut.

A lot of points that Pennsylvania Fish and Boat are currently implementing. Unfortunately our wild Brown Trout are taking over due to higher stream temps. Rainbow Trout have been the stocking of choice to disrupt the Brown Trout.

Rainbow Trout have been the stocking of choice to disrupt the Brown Trout.

I think they stock mostly bows now because they are easily reared in a hatchery and are incapable of reproducing if they're triploid bows. I don't think they're trying to "disrupt the browns." If they wanted to disrupt them, they probably wouldn't have C&R regs on them across the state in several places.

Unfortunately our wild Brown Trout are taking over due to higher stream temps.

Stream temps are likely part of it, but browns being the dominant species is the biggest player.
