To the end of my 6x tippet I tied a Black Gnat. The first cast into a slick pool was rewarded with a gorgeous wild brook trout. To me it stands out as being a particularly well colored specimen:
By an undercut I saw a rise. It ended up being a very nice brooky, well proportioned and about as colorful as they get. I kept working up, casting to every likely spot and catching feisty trout all along the way.

I decided to take a different path home and was rewarded with wild blueberries and the occasional presence of the local ungulates.
Dude, that looks like my kind of day :) Today looked like a really prime day to be out there. Lucky that you got to be on the water. Very nice catches indeed!
ReplyDeleteI've fished a place not far from Hartford that has a similar situation to the first photo where a tree fell backwards away from the water leaving the root structure in tact.... it was the only place I could hook fish because they didn't see me...
Those flatter meandering streams seem to really have spooky fish and you need to stay far back. Tight casting! Impressive.
Thanks.
DeleteThey are often very rewarding, I've caught some of my best wild trout out of this stream.
That stream is a challenge and rewarding. It's nice to be eating while you travel. Those natives had a good size to them. The deer recognize you by now. Thanks for the trip!
ReplyDeleteTie, fish, write and photo on...
Thanks.
DeleteAwesome day! Those colors on the third zoomed in pic are outstanding as are the ones on that colored up male. That small stream certainly gives up some sizable brookies! I noticed the colors on those brookies seem dark to match the tannin-stained and well shaded water. I find that blueberries seem to be around brook trout streams quite often--the two come together.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
DeleteI don't care where they grow, wild blueberries are delicious.
