Seasonal movements of brown trout in northeast Wisconsin
Seasonal movements and winter habitat use are not well described for large streamdwellingbrown trout (Salmo trutta). Movements and stream reach use by adult brown trout weredocumented in the Beaver Creek system from April 1988 through March 1990. Radio transmitterswere implanted in 22 brown trout (t...
