Well, what they don't eat are juvinille brown trout. The juvi's are pretty adept at avoiding predation. One key to large fish in a given body of water is limited reproduction. THe DWR says thats why we aren't seeing many large fish in the middle, and likely why large fish are on the decline on the lower. I'm not advocating intentional destrucion of redds, but I am pointing out how our good intentions can "love" a fishery to death.
