I've done this as a single page because I've never seen a case where we have different pages for different subspecies. Also I wasn't convinced, from the data to hand, that there is a hard and fast difference in their habits etc. However if anyone feels like splitting them up, go right ahead. All I've done so far is shovel some basics down from FishBase. seglea 07:18, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)
The reference to truly native populations being restricted to a very few places such as Corsica needs justification. As far as I am aware in the UK, nearly all Brown trout populations are native and the distriuction is only limited by pollution and by competion from other fish species. Trout introductions tend to be of Rainbow trount and for this species there are only a few succseful breeding introductions (luckily). Unless this statement can be justified I would propose that it is deleted. Velela 5 July 2005 13:13 (UTC)
The life cycle is NOTHING like an Atlantic Salmon. This needs sorting out! Malcolm Morley 23:19, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
"The lacustrine morph of brown trout is most usually potamodromous although there is some evidence of stocks which spawn on wind-swept shorelines of lakes." Do you mean by this that most lacustrine morph fish migrate into flowing water to spawn whereas some do not migrate outside the lake to spawn? It just needs a little clarification... perhaps "The lacustrine morph of brown trout is most usually potamodromous, migrating into rivers or streams to spawn, although there is some evidence of stocks which spawn on wind-swept shorelines of lakes."' Malcolm Morley 22:36, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
"Brown trout may live for several years although, as with the Atlantic salmon, there is a high proportion of death of males after spawning and probably fewer than 20% of female kelts recover from spawning." Absolute malarky! Can I get a source on this? I used to live immediately adjacent to a brown trout stream in Alberta. They would spawn there every year. These figures are garbage or misinformed. Freshwater browns do not fit this statement at all!
No sub-species listed? I can think of 3 off-hand...German Brown, Loch Leven strain, English brown. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fisher99 ( talk • contribs) 18:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC).

The claim that Brown Trout are circumpolar in their native distribution is highly questionable. This is certainly not a widely accepted view, nor have I read of Brown Trout fisheries in the Canadian or Alaskan arctic, or in the drainages of the northern Pacific. At a minimum it needs support with references but when I googled "Brown Trout circumpolar" I only find the assertion repeated with exactly the same wording as in the Wikipedia article. Hmmm....

"These stations have been bought out and closed down by angling associations but has had the opposite effect in that the proprietors of these stations regularly culled seals" This sentence - if it is one sentence - seems to have become garbled. What stations? What has had an "opposite effect"? Opposite to what? Kendrick Pereira ( talk) 11:18, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
I disagree with the statement about brown trout and sea trout being in any way separate populations or 'morphs'. They are the same fish. They were all sea trout originally. A brown trout is simply a non-migratory sea trout. At breeding time, brown trout breed with either brown trout or sea trout and sea trout breed with either brown trout or sea trout. In some rivers, all male trout stay in the river, while most female trout go to sea, to return as sea trout and breed with the river males. The overall proportion of stay-at-homes and sea-going fish is dictated by a combination of genetics and environmental factors, and in any river can change with time and circumstance, both in the river and at sea. This is their survival strategy. Cap'n Fishy ( talk) 18:17, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
Compiling a list of sources for potential article improvement. -- Mike Cline ( talk) 16:32, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Consumption of the
nymphs of
mayflies leads to the infection of brown trout by the
nematode
Cystidicoloides tenuissima as the mayflies are the alternate host of these
parasitic worms.
[1]
I removed the above statement as it is too generalized and absolute and is not supported by the source which refers only to a specific mayfly species in one particular river in England. -- Mike Cline ( talk) 15:22, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

The article doesn't say anything about this fish's qualities on the plate.
I'm very picky about fish; but possibly the nicest fish I ever ate was a brown trout, freshly tickled, gutted, and fried in butter. Flesh is firm and creamy-white, separates easily from the bones. Flavour is nutty - not fishy at all. It's poles away from rainbow trout.
That's all WP:OR. I get the sense that although this fish has been transplanted all over the world as a game fish, anglers are only going for it to test their latest fly - doesn't anyone actually eat it?
Also, no mention of trout-tickling. I think only brown trout are tickled; I'd have thought that would merit a brief section. I may add something if I can find a WP:RS.
