Lake Ontario Charter Fishing since 1987 | |||
Football Browns??? Football browns is a phrase that was coined by great lakes trout fishermen. This was a phrase that was used to described the way the brown trout they were catching in Lake Ontario looked. Our little browns are about 7 inches long when they are stocked and they look like any other brown trout at that stage of their life cycle. Because of the abundant bait fish population in Lake Ontario our browns grow very rapidly and this rapid growth affects the way the fish develop. Their little bodies grow much faster than their heads and tails. A 15 inch long fish in a stream environment would weigh less than a pound. But in the Lake Ontario environment this same 15 inch long fish might weigh as much as three pounds. This rapid growth makes their profile look like a football, bulged in the middle and little on each end. The first time that anyone catches one of these football browns they understand why this term is used to describe these fish. | |||
