They sure are. Going to miss raising them. Brooks and browns were my favorite. Liked them better than the steelhead.
Wanted to see if I could grown one up to 8 lbs., but they seemed to have short life spans and most didn't want to go past age 3. My biggest was 6 lb. 10 oz. in three years, and another one didn't weigh that much but got to 24 inches in three years.
Browns were a different story. Got one to 12 lbs. in 5 years and he probably would have lived longer and become even larger.
