Sea-run brook trout, also known as “salters”, are beautiful and fascinating fish. Although they are believed to be genetically identical to landlocked brook trout, salters spend the winter in saltwater and return to their natal freshwater rivers and streams during the warmer months. Many New England coastal rivers once hosted robust runs of salters, until widespread damming, pollution, and riparian agriculture destroyed their habitat. Now sea-run brookies, are rare, found only in a handful of streams and rivers.
