CONWAY — The brook trout became New Hampshire’s state fish in 1994. And there’s a group that doesn’t want to see it be forced out of the Granite State by non-natives like the rainbow or brown trout taking over its habitat.

Sun columnist Steve Angers, 61, who owns the popular North Country Angler shop in North Conway, has sparked the ire of a local group, the Native Fish Coalition, with a recent column on brook trout and their habitat.
