Beautiful browns! As plump as they are I'll bet that lake has even bigger ones.
Does that lake have smelt for forage?
The reason I ask is we used to have a lake chain here that had smelt and cisco and produced browns to 15 pounds. The state planted togue and they seemed to have wiped out the smelt and cisco. Trying to get them to allow us to replant smelt from a source in Maine but they refuse.
