Wild brook trout need streams that flow year round with clean, cold water that is high in oxygen. Ideal stream habitat includes rocky bottoms, forested streambanks, and abundant overhead and instream cover provided by boulders, branches, logs, and undercut streambanks.
The presence of wild brook trout in a stream is good evidence that the water is clean and cold and that the stream provides good fish habitat.
