#mud trout

The next entry in my fish painting series is the Brook Trout!

And the "Brook Trout" is not actually a trout at all! A member of the char genus "Salvelinus," it originates from Eastern North America but has been introduced to quite a few locations across the world. It is identified by the light-colored pattern along its back, the blue-ringed red spots along its sides, and the white edges along the bottoms of its fins.
