These resourceful fish managed well in degraded habitats
no longer suitable for brook and other trout. At the same
time, the browns proved they could grow faster and live
longer than the other kinds of trout. Their reputation as
a wary fish that tends to feed at dusk or night may account
in part for their durability.
Brown
trout have adjusted well to life in Lake Michigan. They
spawn in late autumn, sometimes on rocky reefs along shore
though they generally prefer the gravelly headwaters of
streams. Brown
trout are among the wariest of fish, feeding usually at
dusk or at night, so fishermen are the adult brown's chief
predator.
