Well There are only 2 species of trout I have to catch before I am satisfied. Next on the list are Brown's.

How are they fished? More like brookie's or rainbows or....

Originaly there was only one trout left on my list but after reading about aurora trout up north I could not help it. Sweet looking fish!!!!!! Only 9 lakes in the world have em. And out of those 9 lakes there are only 3 open each year!@!

are you talking lake run browns that live in great lakes, or small stream browns that live exclusively in the streams?

cause really, they are two different species, although they are the same. (if that makes any sense, lol)

Do you know the story of the Aurora Trout? Speckle subspecies originally only in two lakes in Sudbury, Tower and Lighthouse. The species was brought back from only a few fish after acidification and failed attempts at culturing them and finally it was succesfully stocked into - what I thought was only 3 lakes..but I guess it's 9 now?

The other neat thing is that even though they are considered Endangered under the Endangered Species Act, fisheries managers have done a great job ensuring that their populations remain stable while allowing a fishery so future generations can continue to enjoy the great fishing opportunities.

Have you seen the colour of their meat? Poppy Red!

im talking browns that have been stocked in lakes.

The fish my daughter is holding in my profile pic is a 4.5 lb brown caught in a stocked lake,she caught it when she was 3 with her princess rod and a big shiner minnow .
It was in the spring when the minnows are running up the creeks to spawn.
I think they can be tough to catch though,I think they are evening biters
hope this helps

Well there's only a handful of lakes in eastern Ontario that are stocked with browns. My suggestion for these lakes would be baitfish immitations.

Personally if I were targeting browns, I would head down to NY and fish the stocked rivers, where your odds of catching one are extremely better than any of the stocked lakes.

Just to show the color on fish

Here's a pic of a 9.0 lb brown caught in Red Horse Lake (near Charleston Lake). It's fin was clipped and according to a fellow "in the know", indicated it was a stocked fish, probably about 8 years old. Caught on a Rapala Deep Tail Dancer in June of 2007.

fishtraks, that is the single strangest looking brown i've ever seen....

the classic brown trout giveaway is a flat "square" tail...

that is not.

Laker?

Red Horse has lake trout, not browns in the lake. Nice fish by the way

sorry guys.....thought it was a brown........what do I know after all these years???.......

yeah for that picture of red horse....no, that's no brown, that's a laker.


but as for catching browns.... i've caught numerous ones, in the ottawa river all the way to calabogie.

i fish for them the same way i fish for brookies or rainbows.


the browns that i fish for like the color orange. hope this helps.


oh yeah one more thing....i personaly don't like the taste of brown trout. but they get big and are a great fighting fish.

im from the shores of lake superior and theres lots of browns up there...and i would say that is not a brown...no square tail....but i wouldnt bet my boat on it....lol....i would catch a lot of browns in montreal river (up north guys) on single eggs...they would seem to be hanging behind the rainbow spawning in picking up the lose eggs or casting a mile out with spoons from shore near the river mouth in superior and let it sink for like a half an hour it would feel...lol...and slowly reel back....but man u would have to cast far

I flat line them with 100' or more line as they can spook real easy. Mepps, trolls, or little cleos.
Some of the stocked lakes have more perch than trout though .
Hope that helps.

Hey fishtracks did that laker come out of the lake that colour? Never seen one like that before......
