Been busy recently, but found some time over the past week and a half to hit some rivers. Here's a couple of nice wild browns up to 16" and a pike.

Justin those browns are some really beautiful fish. Very clean looking and awesome colors. We really have a great fishery both fresh and salt water in this state! Good job!

Nice fish as usual! Divide and conquer, great strategy to cover more water. Last time I brought someone stream fishing with me they told me I walk to much...... :D

I'm just asking not saying the browns are not wild.
My question is do you think those fish are feral meaning they were stocked at some time and held over long enough to be feral not true wild.
Just asking your opinion is important to me. Thanks Great fish WTG

Hey man. Browns haven't been stocked in several years and if there were any holdovers, I would expect them to be larger than these fish. There are actually many streams and rivers that hold naturally reproducing populations of wild brown trout in the state.
