Any brown action?

Gol darnit, I haven't been out to chase the local German invaders yet Anyone got any good stories to get my lazy arse motivated?

I've been out doing some fishing at night for some nice browns. Haven't seen many lake runs yet as it's still early, but have been getting a few nice residents on streamers right under the surface, some being over 20 inches.

we were in lanesbourough this weekend and i caught a 17 inch brown on a husky jerk.My biggest brown ever so that was a blast to catch

Kent, about what time of year do the browns stage in front of the brule? I want to make a run from PW and try it. Jims got me hooked on browns, Caught a nice fat 26" on the South shore the other day. Man what a jumper

I don't actually know how long they stage in front of the river, they will be trickeling into the river for the next 2 or 3 months. I think anytime from now until fall would be worth a shot, just be sure to save a couple for us who fish the river.

I'm sure a couple will get by me I wonder if alot of them browns that run the Brule make their way from the islands?

Possibly a few from the islands, but am sure there are quite a few fish from Port Wing and past the Brule that use that river more so.

From what I can see, most browns in the islands... Now more so, since they started stocking the Seeforellen... is that they do not run the rivers like the German strain... Seems most of these fish stay in the lake.

i am going up this weekend with some friends and we are going to try trolling between port wing and the mouth of the brule for browns/steelhead/lakers. i have never done it before so i am a little skeptical, but it will be fun giving it a try. im guessing we will try spoons and cranks, but does anyone have any advice on anything specific or what depth the fish have been at lately? Any info would be great and I will be sure to post a report when we get back...

Interesting theory jkh. I always thought the lake run browns I have caught out that way (chequamegon bay) dont look very seeforellen like. Do they stock the seeforellen in the lake or in the streams? Maybe they would get more returns to the stream by stocking the rivers themselves? Would be nice if more of those piggies ran the streams. They seem to run over in the lake michigan streams but maybe thats because they stock them in the stream itself.
