Brown Run

[Phil Lilley]

I emailed Clint, hatchery manager, and asked him about the brown run. I remembered in the past that the hatchery usually harvested their browns by first or mid October. Clint corrected me and said it was the first couple of weeks in November. He said they haven't had alot of browns climb the ladder but they are looking for them to come in here in the next few weeks.

So they didn't come up early as some thought. If they did, they didn't head up the fish ladder which would have been very unusual. So chances are they have not come up and are late this year.

Very strange-

Salmon runs in Alaska - most if not all runs were late this year.

Salmon runs at least on the Pere Marquette River in Michigan were at least 2 weeks late this year.

Brown run here is 2-3 week late I'd say.

So there is hope, yet.

I find this very refreshing news. Maybe there is a nice brown with my name on it later this week..........

Phil, Very useful info, thanks.

I think it's the later than usual daylight- savings time change. It used to change over this past weekend and now it's this coming Saturday night.

Glad to hear I hadn't missed out on the run. Thought I had. Guess I'll be making a trip down that way pretty soon. Thanks for the info Phil.

I didn't say it was coming.... it just hasn't come yet.... IF it comes. I would think so BUT you never know after such an unusual year.

Not one bite eh. Oh well, I tried. I thought it was kind of funny. A lady at the bus stop said they moved the time change back so we have more daylight. I couldn't for the life of me convince her that there was no more daylight time, just a change of the clock. Sorry, carry on.

Hey SOI3

Your daylight savings time reasoning makes a lot of sense to me.

Man, I have loved that excuse forever
