Meegs Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Went for a rainbow fish this spring, or at least was trying to catch bows, first fish of the morning was a 5lbs brown, half hour later got a 6 lbs brown, couldnt believe our eyes, 2 good browns in such a short period of time, about an hout later my rod went for a good rip, ten min later we got a quick glimpse of what we thought was a big salmon, nope, was the biggest gb brown ive ever seen, ive seen more browns the last 4 years than I have in past 15 out of gb. No fin clips, where are these fish comming from? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallacio Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Solid Browns! The GTAA stocks Browns in Georgian Bay...the likely source of these fish. http://www.georgianfishing.ca/about.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meegs Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Brian, they do, only for a week or two but ive caught them up to 14lbs in bighead, seen enough out of beaver and sydenham, to know there around. I remember seing a pic of rick matuzick from the fish eye view of bob izumis show with a 25 lb brown from montgomery rapids area years ago. As for the white stuff, thats snow, we were from a boat, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave524 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I've got the odd one in the river below the dam in the fall on the Beaver going back to the 80's, but never in the Bighead. Rarely fished it but it is my understanding that the Sydenham coughs up a few in the fall below the dam. None of mine were anywhere near the size of that one, very nicely done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
