Just curious. PA has been stocking brown trout the last few yrs. Has anyone been catching them trolling out in the lake?

we got one Saturday north of bula, first time I ever caught one.

I've never got one out of Coneaut or Ashtabula, and we fish for steelhead up there a bunch, that said I hear the occasional report of them being caught. Also the OH state record brown trout was caught up there last year.

From articles in magazines I gather their habits & preferred conditions are different that walleye & steelhead, so getting them as bycatch is limited. Don't really know of anybody in Ohio that targets them, and not sure how many migrate west from the PA waters.

I have a buddy that has caught two browns in the last few years. I've also heard of a few King Salmon caught in the past couple of seasons.

I got a few trolling the grand early season steelhead fishing. They taste great

My brother caught a monster one while casting spoons while salmon fishing at the mouth of the chagrin

Salmon fishing in OH would most likely be a very lonely experience...

I've pulled a few out of the rivers, never on the lake. I was in Geneva when that pig came in Beautiful fish.

Here's a pic of a 7 lber I got last fall trolling the Break wall

I got a brown last year north of Geneva and we took a chinook 3 or 4 yrs ago off Conneaut

I have targeted them in Michigan, more of a spring thing around the river mouths. They are tasty.

I dont want to keep 1 or eat 1. I was just curious if there starting to show up yet. Thy keep stocking them and Il bet the 14lb record will get broke.
