That's no doubt a wild tiger trout. Congrats! It's a pretty one too.

Interesting! This guy was in fact from Litchfield county. I moved up here for work a couple years ago. Enjoying what it has to offer but I'd almost always rather be fishing in PA 😄

That is a very cool looking brook trout. Thanks
Genetic abnormality called a "blue brook trout". Very rare. I imagine in the wild, like winning the lottery.

You're probably right but even the guide said he'd never seen anything like it before. He thought it was a hybrid, but I doubt it. Pic of a char we also caught.

Posting this so the OP digs out his double eye-spot photo too. Anyone have an idea how common this is or not? Common mutation to a certain population of trout, like a black squirrel? Inquiring minds wanna know... My first that I can remember and I am pretty old 😉

That's the same brown I caught. Compare the spot pattern on the gill plate. No doubt the same trout. Very cool! Multiple eye-spots are pretty rare. Was he caught at the spot with the big rocks where the creek bends?Posting this so the OP digs out his double eye-spot photo too. Anyone have an idea how common this is or not?

Spot patterns remind me of fingerprints, they don't change.

I’ve caught several of them. Have pics somewhere. I think I had one with a triple spot one time. It’s uncommon, but not that uncommon is my assessment.
And also awesome we have another random identified and confirmed same fish caught by two members case.
