steelie:
do you think the fish are really bigger and more ?
personally i think they are actually smaller and as to more compared to what?
compared to the hey days i'd say far less
compared to the mid-late 90's , i'd say there may be an increase due to better natural reproduction
but possibly the more smaller fish may also be a result of more competition for food
something everyone struggles with trying to find the balance of the forage base
do they feed on smolts?
best fly on the river during spring should answer that .
now i base this on personal observation only
it's quite rare to catch a 15+# football brown, 35# giant king,23+# coho & an 18# steelie i'm sure they are there but few and far between
