Fishing for Brown Trout

Wow.

The Department of Natural Resources announced Thursday it has certified the 41.5-pound brown trout caught July 16 in the Lake Michigan waters off Racine as the state record for the species.

The fish was caught by Roger Hellen of Franksville. It already earned him the $10,000 grand prize in the Salmon-A-Rama fishing contest.

  1. Because the DNR allows Milwaukee to dump BILLIONS of gallons of effluent by MMSD into Milwaukee’s waterways you can be assured the only “brown” trout caught near Milwaukee will be an escapee from the sewage treatment plant.

    Thank you Wisconsin DNR.

  3. Unless you are fishing for farm raised, stocked trout in the big pond. I am not against the fish in the pond, nor am I against putting them there. They serve a purpose. I do take umbrage at classifying them in the same group as a 10” brookie caught in a fast running, shallow, cold stream in western WI or even a brown pulled from a deeper pool in northern WI streams and rivers.
