these are salmon. The top one looks like brown but the tail is different. I don't think brown exist in the res any more. Maybe they are still there but none caught brown in years.
Congrats!!!
Can you tell me which lure did you use? if you don't want to say it, then where are you catch them at? bottom of river or suspense column of river?
I caught brown trout in CHU at recently summer. I thought it was landlocked salmon. I did bring it into to check with wildlife biologist to identified the fish. But they told me it was brown trout, not salmon.
