LOL I am going to guess wild in the sense that their color and size weren't of the "stock" type I found at "Forebay" Reservoir (which is located write outside the main road {Carson Road} across from the Safeway in town). A biologist friend told me at one time there were some big Browns down there, that was not the case for me.
