Fall Brown Run

So where then do the big browns come from? THey dont stock browns do they? I am stumped here now.

Last year or was it the year before last they put in the fish ladder at outlet 3 for the browns coming up stream to enter the hatchery, I did not hear the number of fish that reached the hatchery but there was always several big browns in the several pools in the ladder and a lot staging at the entrance to outlet 3.

This month, 300 brown trout were taken from the ditch and over 300,000 eggs were harvested. James also said pilinary reports show 80% of the eggs will hatch, which is a good success rate. He expects 10% of those that hatch will "dropout" and not make it past the fry stage.

Sorry Dano, didn't notice the end of your post until after I posted.
