Well sea-run brown trout was a species in the delta. And I will be dayumed if this isn't the EXACT fish we saw this evening

I find it HIGHLY unlikely, but not impossible I suppose. Big browns survive in hot waters on the lower lower owens. Cool find
Alright, I will admit I myself did not believe. But I talked to Joe Contaldi ( Matuka Joe, owner/guide of performance anglers in Mammoth Lakes, professional flyfisherman) and he said it is possible. His exact words "Ya it's possible. The brown trout can handle warm Temps alot warmer than rainbows they require less dissolved oxygen than rainbows."
So, now I 100% believe
Like I said... Don't care if you believe me or not.
Glad your onboard now you've talked with Joe! It comforts me knowing you believe at least one guy
I'm not concerned with comforting you. Joe's an actual expert, you posted a picture of a brook trout
As long as you and Joe are happy, I'm happy!...
Thanks for all the research for me
I'd be happy too if I saw the first ever brook trout in the duct
Was it a brook? Was it a brown? I dunno. But it looked like that pic exactly.
Glad duct trout expert Joe straightened me out on this one.
Thanks again MRg
Lol. You're welcome. And that goes for everybody on this forum, you ever see a trout or mermaid or dolphin in the duct, contact me and duct trout expert joe
