31" Brown Trout

I didn't remember seeing this shared here, but I thought a few of you might be interested in it. IF&G caught it (electro-fishing) near Osgood two weeks ago. They are in there, you just don't see 'em every day.

Wow even if it has been scene i could see that mistaken for just a big carp. While its in the water lurking around.. them big browns are kinda slow moving.

I wonder if this one was caught in the same area on the snake?

That netting job gives whole new meaning to the term "fishing tackle"!

Could be close to the same location. Anyway, IF&G believes it's an "under-utilized" section of the river. They are surveying there for the first time ever, apparently so that it will become a more "utilized" area, which might not please some who already utilize it without crowds!
