Is it because one is a native trout or holdover? The silvers are just stocked trout maybe?

Where are you catching these?
Most all you catch here are stocked not wild (go east TN for wild stream bred fish). The only native trout we have in TN is actually not even a trout. The Appalachian Brook Trout in east TN (high elevations) is a member of the char family.
