It doesn't matter much what you call it, I think most will get the idea of what you're trying to say! Like how most NW residents say "pop" rather than "soda."

The WDFW does consider them brown trout, not german browns.

Strange, I've noticed that most fly fishers call them brown trout and bait/spin fishers call them german brown trout.
