Rainbows spawn in the spring. They go and stage at the Highwood river in March and wait for the Highwood River to thaw out. Once the Highwood has broken open they bolt up the river and spawn in the Highwood and it's tributaries. The Browns move the other way up the river and spawn in the fall, September, October and November. So look for those big browns to start showing up soon. You will begin to hook more of them starting very soon. You will also see some big rainbows hanging around as they tend to eat the Rowe the browns deposit in the gravel beds. Let the wife know that 325.00 will slam you some intence fish for 6 hours straight. You arm will feel like it's going to fall off. Hope to see you out with me this fall or this coming summer. Thanks Kyle, ~Mike. You will be able to tell them apart very soon Kyle. Rainbows spawn in the spring. They go and stage at the Highwood river in March and wait for the Highwood River to thaw out.

The methods to distinguish between male and female trout are difficult to determine to the untrained eye. The older the trout is and the closer to spawning season, the easier it is to determine between the sexes. In general, mature male trout will develop a kype (or a hooked snout on their lower jaw). Male trout also tend to be more laterally compressed than female trout and during the spawning period may be brighter in coloration. Conversely, female trout tend to have a more rounded snout and body conformation. Hello Kyle, great question.

Doing your homework pays off big time. Sounds like a sweet rainbow for sure. That makes me want one myself. I am off at 6 Am tomorrow with a client, we are going to float Police to Mac so I cant wait to see what's going to happen, I sure hope he cleans up tomorrow. I love too see clients slam like 30-40 fish in one trip. Anyways Kyle, thanks for the update and always feel free to keep in touch here, I am glad to hear you are fishing those Rapala's with success. ~Mike. Nice Kyle, that’s what I like to hear.
