Apparently I caught a couple brown trout too. I figured they were brook trout with a pale coloration

Brook trout (genus Salvelinus) are members of the Char family (some others being lake trout and artic char), which have a distinctive characheristic of light colored spots on dark sides and back.  Brown trout (genus salmo) are members of the "true" trout family (some others being rainbow or steelhead, and Atlantic salmon), which have a distinctive characteristic of dark colored spots (may have colors within dark spots with some browns) on sides and back.

So you have a couple photos of brookies, a couple photos of browns, and one photo of a rainbow (and probably one  of a rainbow still in the water).

Thank you Jim.  Don't those trout things know each species deserves a niche of its own?

Went out and hit the creek for about 6 hours today and crushed'm! I landed 44 and missed a bunch.  The morning was cold at 30° when I arrived but ended a beautiful day. All fish were caught on dry flies,  I just love the visual of the takes. Landed the 3 B's....bows, brooks and browns!

Fall fishing in the mountains is the best! Great pictures.
