Title: Brown trout out of lake Sacajawea!?
Post by: LoganOregon on August 01, 2012, 10:39:44 PM: I fish here every once in a while and catch the stocked rainbows, but I have never seen or heard of anyone ever catching a brown trout or them being in there at all. Stopped by yesterday for a bit and caught this guy! Around 11"
I was very surprised.

I was expecting to see some corn eyes on your Brown Trout. :chuckle:

My kids and I saw two otters in that lake last winter, that was kind of neat.

Post by: Atroxus on August 03, 2012, 08:48:18 PM: I don't know why...but every time I have seen the words "brown trout" in the top of this thread my first thought was that it's a euphemism.....like "Excuse me, I need to go release a brown trout into the sewer system." Maybe there is just something wrong with me. :dunno:
