First Cayuga Trib Brown

[Castmaster]

My First Cayuga Tributary brown .  The Small one was my first  measuring in at a whopping 9-10 inch lol.  Notice the Lamprey bite (I think) on its back (wow).  The second one was better at 5.9#.

Nice going bud, persistence pays off

Nice fish!  This year has sucked hard. Worst run in the past 10 years, can't even call it a run.  Congrats on finding one!

I'm looking at the forked tail on the smaller fish and am wondering if it might not be a salmon?

Small fingerlings will have a forked tail. That is a brown. No doubt about it. Doubt its a lamprey mark, may be a wound from a bird or something else. Note the jaw and spots.

Nice brown.

Yea that mark i thought was really odd.  if it wasn't a lampry i have no idea what would have caused it.  Think that it would survive with whatever it is?  As the skin got darker the more sunken in it got.  I've never caught one with a mark like that before.  Not sure if it was a stockie or el-natural.

I'm not very good at identifing the smaller fish but i can say that the big one is a brown for sure  .  when i caught the little one i thought it was a brown but could see how it could be a salmon too.  not experience enough with the little ones (esp salmon) to know the difference.
