I'm not going to call you a liar but I was thinking along the same lines about the colour, especially regarding the brownies and even hen migratory fish will show signs of a small Kype when sexually mature. I'm basing my opinion on my observations of the fish I've had and seen from my rivers in the North East and have no experience on rivers further South.I accept that on our rivers migratory fish will run and spawn off as late as January( I say late to differentiate between spring run MSW fish) however I would expect most Brownies to have spawned off well before Boxing Day. I can see from the photo they appear to be quite plump when you cleaned them were they full of spawn? Nice fish all the same! Quote Link to post
fishfish 17 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 full of spawn???? surely you mean milt or roe? and no they werent thanks for asking though john. Quote Link to post
watchinufish 0 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Doh Yes I was thinking I wonder if they had already spawned off while I was typing and mixed the two phrases up but you knew what I meant or you wouldn't have bothered correcting me. To continue in that vein IMO they look too fat to have been early spawners although the sea trout taking bread suggests otherwise. I have heard that they will re-absorb roe/milt if for whatever reason they don't find a mate but would have thought there would have been some evidence when you cleaned them any thoughts?. Ah well possibly another of life's mysteries that will remain unsolved . I'm not a John or even a Jon by the way. Quote Link to post
doga 50 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 didnt realise that browns went a red colour when spawning rainbows yes but im no exspert. Quote Link to post

Didn't mean to upset you mate Buy you a pint next time I see you. I'm only speaking from experience, been taking salmon and sea trout from rivers up here for last 30 years never seen anything as clean as that after mid October, come to think of it never seen a sea trout that small either.
