According to the biologists in the area, the trout grow an inch a month year round. The river is loaded with Sowbugs, Scuds, Sculpins and Crayfish. Loads of food year round. The big browns stay in the deep holes around the access areas and feed on the remains of fish that are cleaned there. That is also where the smaller trout are released and the big browns know it. I watched a big brown chase smaller trout several times around my dock. It is usually late in the evening when the smaller trout are feeding on a hatch. All of a sudden there would be a big swirl and that was it. Other times there would be a chase like a shark fin out of the water with a big swirl at the end of the chase. Tony [EMAIL PROTECTED]
