Brook trout are one of Minnesota's only native trout species! 🐟 💧 Down in southeast Minnesota, brook trout have been restored to Money Creek near Rushford, MN. These fish are an iconic resident of the Driftless Area and are a sign of good water quality if found in your local streams. 📊 Fisheries staff sampled Money Creek this fall and found all three year-classes of stocked brook trout. Year-classes refers to fish that are born in the same year. Finding different year-classes of stocked fish and a healthy number of each class during sampling can tell us a lot about their survival rates. 💙 Based on the results of this round of sampling, the stocked brook trout are thriving. We'll hold off stocking the next few years to give them time to thrive, and hopefully in three years, we're catching wild-born brook trout spawned from these stocked fish!
