Check out this rare footage showing spawning behavior by Brook Trout in a local stream! Trout lay eggs in a nest called a redd. A female hollows out a depression in the gravel by turning sideways and swimming strongly against the bottom to clear out any silt. When she’s ready to spawn, a female lays eggs in the redd, which are then fertilized by nearby males. Fertilized eggs settle into the bottom and are covered by a layer of gravel. 🎥: Scott Sweeney | Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wil
