Favorite Brook Trout Streams

Last night I left the shop early so I could get some fishing in on one of my favorite brook trout streams. Being wild fish, these little fellas were not very picky.

I tied on a size 16 caddis pattern with some CDC wings and didn’t change flies till I caught a nice rhododendron bush. The fish were eager to rise as long as they didn’t see me.

The brookies are starting to get their spawning colors, and in some of the pools it was like looking into a tropical aquarium. All in all it was a great afternoon on one of my favorite streams.
