fishing in may

[edeltrouts]

Best fishing time here is may and june. So every year we try to make daytrips in this time. Last week we visited a beautiful stream in our region. The fishery is managed by one of my fishing buddies.

Very unusual! A sea-going brown at this time. 600 miles off the sea. It took a dry fly!

Thanks for taking us along on your trip Thomas.....your report is one of the reasons I like to hang out here...

How do you know that the one brown was a sea-going brown?

[edeltrouts]

The stream is very closely monitored because of his few salmons and sea-going browns. All barriers for the sea-going fishes have been removed and it is one of the important streams in the official nature restauration program to bring these fishes back. Every year thousands of young salmon are released. German browns are stocked only from regional parent lines. They have ever red dots and dark skin - same as the wild trout have. The border of the tail fin from this fish is a line. The normal browns have a rolling tail fin border. Thats why we think it's a sea-going brown.

Nice Pictorial Post Edeltrouts !

It is a chub. There are some of them in that stream. Most trout anglers don't like them but I do.
If they are older. They are much more difficult to catch than a trout. They suck in the fly very slow with open mouth. If you are too fast with your hookset the fish is gone without contact.
