So you may remember that on July 17 I caught a big trout out of Chesterfield with a tag in it. I just received a letter from F&G with the growth rate results. I thought you guys and gals would appreciate this. So when I caught him he was 23.75 inches long. He was released on June 24, 2014 and he was 10.179 inches long. In two years that fish roughly grew 7 inches a year.....wow, that's pretty incredible. I would have thought that fish would have been at least one if not two years older. They have great feed in that lake. They are just full of snails. Have any of you sent in tags from other lakes or rivers? How do the growth rates compare to Chesterfield?
