Back on Tuesday fully refreshed with a liver full of new scars! Going after the native Browns on our wild trout stream Saturday morning then hitting the stocked streams later in the day!

stevasaurus 22,700 #5 Posted April 10, 2014 Going for browns on Lake Michigan next week. That is a nice brown you are holding there. Looks like about 3 lbs...a good eater for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy 90 #6 Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) NIce looking trout. We have a steelhead run here. It runs from October to early May then they go back out to the lake. We get a few stray browns from Michigan each year though. The rain has kept the river too high for me to get out on my off days this year.

boovuc 1,090 #8 Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Just back from camp tonight! This weekend goes by so fast! Few pics coming. We stayed on the native trout streams locally and did well using redfin minnows. (Black-nosed Dace). Did a selfie with an 18 inch Native Brown.

boovuc 1,090 #14 Posted April 17, 2014 Hey Duke! We put a lot of the native trout back in the run since that is the only way the stream keeps it's population of trout. On opening weekend we take a few and I don't mind taking some of the bigger ones since Brown Trout tend to "eat their own" as they get bigger. They also kill a lot of Brook Trout! We hit the stocked waters and take as many as we legally can for a big fish fry in late September. All the trout are filleted and we do them up with a beer batter and deep fry them in turkey cookers. My fiancée is from Cincinnati, (Finneytown to be exact), so we get plenty of Frisch's Tarter Sauce and head back east. We feed about 75 folks with trout fillets plus Crappie and some Walleye taken from the nearby Bald Eagle Creek at Bald Eagle State Park. It's nice to have both Limestone/Spring fed Trout Streams and some great warm water fisheries within minutes from us. Of course you guys that have the lakes and the steelhead runs...............I envy not being close to that! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
