Trophy trout/salmon?

#713111 - 10/09/08 08:43 AM

I have been fishing the "salmon run" for many years now. From Lake Superior 15 years ago to the Root and Milwaukee now. I never thought of mounting a chinook but I have caught some real nice browns, coho and rainbows that would look real nice. What size of these fish is considered rare or a trophy? I love the looks of a male coho/brown and a silvery long steelhead.
Thanks Dream'n
Gonna hit'm again this weekend

here in duluth most guys that i know of would mount a brown 30 to 31 inches or over. as far as a coho they dont get very big in the duluth area but anything over 4 pounds i would put on the wall. just make sure its not a little king that would be pretty embarrassing lol, they look alike. steelhead, 10 plus pounds for me.

to me it would depend on where i was also, to people in wisconsin a 31 inch brown is common but in duluth they somewhat rare

My first "looper" was 29" that I caught in front of the French River through the ice is on the wall. Boy I miss ice fishing up there!
