Herring run surprise
I was at a run early this morning and netted a fat 20 inch brown trout. Has anyone else ever netted one? It surprised the ---- out of me. Anyone else ever seen anything other then herring at the runs? Could this be one of the rare sea run brown trout going up stream to spawn, or just a stocked fish that got swept down stream?

Chef, if it was where we were last week, it may have been stocked. The RIDEM stocks the river above the dam

I caught one actually. Was fishing for shad and it hit a pink shad dart. Then they told me that they where spawning up stream with the herring.

I have caught a few searuns both by rod and reel and have netted the same brown three times in a stream! I have also netted rainbows and brookies. Searuns usually look a little differant than fresh stockies, they seem to be fatter and have more color to them. I have caught them fresh from the salt with sea lice on them. The flesh is pink and very good eating. They are not common in many streams and very hard to catch but live bait works best.

It might have been a seforellan brown trout - it's a non-native Norwegian species (and no, this ain't a Monty Python parody).
CT introduced them to some of their rivers for sportfishing, they can get pretty danged big from what I understand.
RI has been trying to re-establish a salmon run here but that pretty much went the way of the do-do bird starting with the Industrial Revolution.
Look at the Westerly town crest - there's 3 fish on it.
Anybody know what they are?
Bueller? Bueller?
Anybody?

The town seal bears three salmon. The Native Americans called the land Misquamicut, which signified "a place for taking salmon."

Fishdump tagged it -
They (the RI DEM, perhaps in conjunction with a civilian outfit) keep pouring buckets of fingerlings in rivers hoping some will survive and return.
So far, not so good.
