As you know, we no longer raise brown trout @ The Pequest Hatchery.
When we did, we stocked 8” (the size, @ which, they tend to move to saline water) sea run browns in the fall. Also, any surplus browns (4” – 6”) that we could not use in our inland waters were stocked in the Manasquan River.
We’ve heard from other anglers who caught & released many of these sea run “trainees”. And, every once & a while, one of those anglers hooked into something bigger, that took off like a freight train & ultimately got / broke off.
