Brown Trout Growing Fast in Round Valley Reservoir

Scrolling down and reading through Round Valley Trout Association's website, I noticed a number of brown trout catches at the reservoir, fish between 20 and 25.5 inches long, all of them with RVTA6 jaw tags, which means these browns were among the 200 11- and 12-inch fish released by the club in conjunction with the Musky Trout Hatchery during March 2016. The accounts show some astonishing growth, and yet what's even more interesting to me is the range in size. Makes me wonder. I don't know how the size diverges that much, except for the obvious reason. Some trout manage to eat more and perhaps at temperatures more suitable for growth.
