I caught this Brook Trout down in Lincoln National Forest, NM. It made me think, where is the southern most brook trout fishery in the US? Can anyone beat the vicinity of Ruidoso NM?

EDIT: With further research sparked by some comments, Ruidoso NM is approximately 33N Latitude. The Patagonia region is also known to hold Brook Trout which is further South. However, if we reset our baseline as closest to the Equator, the NM fishery is closest with 33N vs Patagonia's northern most extent of 38S (Huincul Fault according to Wikipedia)
