The remaining young Brown trout that survive the Stripers, big Largemouths, catfish and Rainbows will no doubt end up growing quite large on the abundant shad and other baitfish. Also the large, deep and very clean lake will help produce a trophy Brown Trout fishery in 4 to 5 years. The CDFG just needs to put in several more large stockings of pan size brownies.
The Browns have the potential of getting to DD and even into the 20+ range.
browns are stocked, never heard or seen anyone catch one.
i personaly think they went deep, WAY deep.
To P- The browns are going to be fine in the Jewel. The last plant of DF&G browns were much larger then anticipated. They were not fingerlings, but averaged between 8-10". That was about a year ago. The DF&G biologists state that they expect a 10% survival rate of the total stockings. There's been way over 50K browns stocked that include fingerlings and the larger then anticipated ones. You can do the math. There are some browns already over the 20" range, but are very elusive. They are going to be very difficult to catch, but they'll be trophies for sure. We'll all hear about the first nice brown in a few years..........

some extra browns have been stocked recently.
A few months ago I talked to the gentleman in charge of trout production and stocking for the state. He stated the DFG was confident enough browns would survive, as well as with continued stocking, to provide a great fishery...He seems dedicated to that
I heard about a guy that released a brown trout today from shore.
In deep lakes like DVL the browns go deep. They lose their brown coloration and turn silver with large spots, much like the lake run browns in the Great Lakes. Since DVL main forage base is an open water schooling fish, the browns will follow that. However, you can be there will be fish that roam shallow. They''l be rare, but Im willing to bet a few browns will be caught on rip baits fishing for bass.
