Re: Wisconsin - Lake Michigan

Yes Bobk, please show us some of those pictures of those big Ontario browns caught in the feeders on flys, and make sure the backgrounds are still in the pictures so us western GLs fellows can figure out what streams they were caught on. LOL

WI has an excellent Brown Trout fishery best on Lake Michigan of any of the states. IN has just started a new brown stocking program.

They catch a couple of 30 lbers each year in WI waters.

Here is a cute comments on the big brown thread from the GLs Angler board this picture and story is on. Imagine how many alewifes this brown ate over its life time ?

"I just received a priority fax from LMAA ( Lake Michigan Alewives Anonymous)
For immediate release:

Gents and Madames: It is truly a great day to be an alewife! The infamous Butcher of Bender was officially caught and NOT released by an angler known only as Spanky. This vile and devastating brown trout has been known to devour up to 200 of our brethren each and every day, without recourse. A grass roots effort to save our heritage from our friends at GLA seems to be working. Support them whenever you can by helping keep the marinas ice-free, as these fine folks have become our friends. Only with their help can we truly hope to recover.

Yours in zooplankton and micro-shrimp,
