Anyone know why it is that some are able to thrive this far down? Maybe the temps are just low enough to allow them to live, but high enough to mess with reproduction? Or maybe there are just some genetic anomalies out there?

Browns were introduced to the river a few years ago so conditions must be compatible for the browns to do good. They were released in a couple places between Devon and Ft. Sask. Now that the water is cooling off the trout might be more active and traveling more too.

I swear there must be more browns around than we know. Just no one is fishing for them. It's like the 30 lb. pike in the river. Not too many anglers target them.

Deep's brown trout is gorgeous too.
