A Brookie Tail

This photo was taken of the stream about 20 years later way down stream.

My biggest small stream brook that was real and not a pond escapee was 17 3/4 inch female and caught in a tiny stream nearly at its source between two large beaver dams. She was very drab colored. She fought like a huge brown. The stream was not deep but she hunkered down hard on the bottom.

Len, I don’t get into trout fishing much but we caught these two monster brook trout chasing perch on the mississippi. One last year and one this year. They were both in the same place. And both are still swimming.

only one word to say

“wow”

I was just reading this morning, in my MN Conservation Volunteer about the SE streams and the different strains of Brookies they believe to exist. They are such a beautiful specimen.

I am taking my 5 yr old son to Whitewater St. Park in April for his first camping trip and introduction to the trout streams. I’m sure it will be Browns if we are lucky enough to land a fish or two, but hoping to start exploring more with him the next few years as I get to re-live my youth
