Interspecies Territoriality On The Bow Or Foodfight?


Recommended Posts

Was down on the Bow fishing with my father in law last week. He hooks into a nice Brown while swinging a stonefly. This is fat 18" fish. Good fight, he's bringing the fish into the shallows and I'm behind the fish to land him. Suddenly there is a much bigger Rainbow (about 23") shadowing this fish not more than 3 or 4 feet from me. He keeps his position until I get a hold of the brown then he goes away.

My father in law thinks the Rianbow was interested in the stonefly hanging in the browns jaw on that side. I think the rainbow was being territorial.

 

Any ideas?
