cjgraham Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Well it was another successful trip in the St Marys Rapids today. Lots of steelies amist the cluster of spawning Kings. Then I landed this hog. To me a bit to get him in thought for sure it was an Atlantic and didn't even occur to be that it may be a brown till I showed the pic to my buddy. I didn't even bother looking at the tail since I thought it was an Atlantic. Anyone want to give me some advice as to whether this could be a brown? I would imagine the rare Atlantic would still be lurking but I know there are Browns as well in the St Marys.

cjgraham Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Im gonna go with atlantic in spawning/winter colours... I'll agree with you on that I just did some research tonight seems that the mouth of an Atlantic stops at the eye and the mouth of a Brown goes past the eye.
