Tubedude, I remember those 70's days as well....there were some huge browns in there; I remember my dad catching one over 9 pounds trolling a silver flatfish, which was the biggest live trout I'd ever seen at that point in my life....also remember the chubs. Me and my brother would catch dozens of them (what else are kids gonna do..)
You're right on the browns too; when the planter truck arrives, the dinner bell rings as they pretty much turn pisceverous once they get over 22" or so...
While I don't generally like to be too critical of the DNR and their management plans, in this case I don't "get it" with the browns. I think we currently have a lot of stunted walleye, basically no perch, and the chubs are essentially gone. Don't know what those browns are supposed to eat and the rainbow is a better sport fish anyway. Don't see the logic on this one.
