Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: not just salmon and lakers

Popeye & W-fat,
good info. i thought there might be some brown fishermen out there. all the posts have given us a start. hopefully we will have some great brown pics this year!

Does anyone know if they are a hardier fish than the salmon as far as catch and release. i would like to get pics if we ever do start landing them.

thanks

Mike - the reason they give for stocking browns is that they are more tolerant of warmer and more nutrient rich waters than other salmonids so maybe they would be more tolerant of the surface temps when released in the summer. But they seem fragile enough. I've only caught a few of those wary browns but they seem VERY similar to the salmon. Same genus ("Salmo"). When the browns are not brightly colored for the spawn they look very similar to the salmon except that their backs are brown instead of green. Nice fish. Good thread.
