mrhookup Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 idk about browns, but I know they haven't had the money to clip steelhead the last couple of years so they probably haven't with browns as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Beyond Driven Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 They planted a new and special strain last year that's supposed to save the brown trout fishing, and these are clipped. I don't know why they didn't just plant the same ones they planted the year before that, we caught 38 browns last year and all but 2 were 2-4# fish from the year before. Oddly, some of those were fin clipped, so we're getting browns from other states over here.The 5-10# fish we're seeing this year are the results of that 2009 plant.

Treblemaker Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Caught a walleye the other night with an 8" trout in it's belly when the fish was cleaned! I'll post pix once I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snotrocket Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 How's the launch out of Port Sheldon? Did they dredge it so it's a little deeper than the earlier reports I read this Spring? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCool Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 How's the boat launch? I read it would not be dredged this year so it would be best to launch from Grand Haven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperlimits Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 launch itself was not bad.when you got out a little bit thats when it got shallow.I tried to stay in river channel,and it was 4 ft at the very deepest.I only have a 16ft,so it was not a problem.
