Okay. Now that we are on the same page, I can see that is very possible and removes my doubt and skepticism.
Brown trout were released into Cascade reservoir back in the early 80's. It's is surely possible that some escaped through the dam and established a small population below the dam, or could even still be present in the lake. I don't know how long they live, but I doubt any of the original stocking would still be alive. I'm actually glad to hear that there may still be some around. I personally would like to see more Brown's.
BTW, I don't know of anyone else who considers that portion of river to be the SF of the Payette. The SF flows down from Grand Jean through Lowman and Garden Valley and dumps into the Main Payette and Banks.
