Last season I haven't caught a a lot of juvenile browns maybe 3-4 the whole year. And I have caught big spawning browns but nothing much in between. It's 2 different classes.
Iv never got any browns with fungus on them but I'm not stomping through their when the spawn is on for ethical reasons.
I'm thinking the smaller browns are getting shut out by the brookies because this year we caught some larger sizes then what we have caught before. But I'm positive the larger browns in there are making a healthy living. It's not like your going to be seeing hue browns consistently because they reside in the beaver runs that run into the bank and wait there till the prime conditions occur.
There is a ton on stauffer and there's no shortage of food during winter with all those winter stones around the overhanging willows. I think it has something to do with the redds and being destroyed by anglers when they walk by.
