Habitat: cold, well-oxygenated upland waters, especially large streams in mountainous areas.

Brown trout are found in streams and some lakes in the White Mountains and around the Mogollon Rim country. They reproduce naturally in streams and are often associated with deep under cut banks and pools choked with woody debris.
