okay.....they were planted years ago, and i hear of the occasional one being caught, but wtf?!?!?!?
last monday, handlining for walleyes, we got one. about 15". thought it was a fluke.
friday night (i wasn't there, but got the report): same deal, handlining, and a 20" caught.
now i am not thinking fluke. last plant in the river for steelies was 95. is there a chance that these fish have actually taken? i mean, these 2 weren't big, so that makes me think that they are 2nd or 3rd generation.
or they could just be from somewhere else.
any thoughts? did the plantings work? can the detroit river sustain trout? is there a chance for the population to grow?
