Detroit lake brown trout?

[CrappieHunter]

Anyone know why there’s brown trout in Big Detroit, and if there’s still some in there?

Also wondering about the channel catfish in there

If my memory hasn't gone to mush, I think there was a fish exchange years ago between Colorado/Wyoming and Minnetucky of trout for walleye fingerlings or some such. I believe they put the trout into the lakes where they took the walleye eggs from and Detroit was one of them. They put them in all kinds of lakes. I think the state park near Pelican Rapids also got some. Could be wrong though. I have no clue on the channel catfish though.

Thank you, I heard someone say they spawn in a creek over there but they haven’t netted one since the 70s

I can't imagine brown Trout surviving in DL.

Actually, no way.

My thoughts exactly. Trout and Pike/Muskies is a totally one way buffet.
