jonnybass Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Nice fish. Are fish like the ones you caught generally only found way up stream? Also, was the brown a resident brown or a fish that's "growing up" before heading back to Lake O and how can you tell the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyWater Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 brookies around here are natural and reproduce only in streams. most browns will get to a size of around 2lbs and take off downstream to lake O. some browns hang in streams for a long time like the 4-5lb resident i got last year and my camera battery died LOL seriously.

l2p Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) nice fish, and yes in most cases brookies can only be found on the head waters of the creeks. from what ive noticed most lake run browns lack the orange dots and halos that most resies have.

johnnyb Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 beauty brookie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnybass Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 So I'm assuming that specs and Steelhead don't ever share the same water at the same time. That's what I meant by wayyyy up stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2p Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 it depends on the trib your fishing. sometimes the steelhead are not aloud that far up(dams) but witnessed one case where a buddy of mine actually hooked a brookie in a pool full of steelhead.

ehg Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 i caught a small brookie while bow fishing below the tracks in a eastern trib!!! IT HAD LAKE COLOURS!!!! makes you wonder doesnt it? Ya it does make you wonder. Fished for brookies and resident browns for last 25 yrs. and have seen their range shrink immensely especially in Ganaraska tribs. Something about opening up upper reaches of tribs. for rainbow trout,(which are introduced, almost invasive) which has out competed native brookies for habitat and food. Catching a lake run 'chrome' brookie shouldn't be unusual, thats the way it was before urban encroachment, introduced species, and too many people. Nice fish, that first one is big. ehg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
