Post Spawn Brown
« on: 12/28/15 09:51 UTC »
Its late, but a lot of the post-spawning Browns are starting to eat again.  When they start to eat, they EAT!!! Look at the jaws on this beast.  Pretty incredible that in a couple months, this fish will transform back to normal.  This guy ate a silver goose turd on a 1/4 ounce Worm Nose Head jig.

That's exactly right.  Almost gruesome,  but so cool to see up close.  Battle scars everywhere. 

Surprisingly, they still fight like a beast.  He just bull-dogged the bottom.  Screamed off some line twice.  8 pound test so you have to play them gingerly.

Is the natural reproduction successful, or are they dependent on stocking?

Probably no natural reproduction.  But there are a ton of unclipped salmon (not stocked) out there that are the result of successful spawning on the Michigan side. I spoke with trollers this summer that reported almost 50% of their salmon catches had an adipose fin which is a wild fish.

Beauty fish Marc.

Looking at the forecast, I think my 2015 river fishing may be over.

Yes, we jumped into winter quick.  I had 6-8" of wet heavy slop.
