Novi, MI Posts: 1218	Trevor, That is a nice fish, but where did you catch it? It's an unusual strain compared to Michigan Browns. Our fish are sprinkled with some red dots on them and seem darker. Some of the first stocking of Browns in the States were here in Michigan with the so-called German Brown trout. Interesting. Spence

GRAYLING. MICHIGAN Posts: 90	Looks like a Loch Leven strain to me.. Browns were first planted in the U.S. on April 11, 1884 in the Baldwin River, a tributary to the Pere Marquette.. Your fish appears to be in the 20" range..
