My little brookie


Danubian

Recommended Posts

Yesterday afternoon I went out for a walk in the woods.

I also took my fishing rod with me and a handful of very small spinners.

Swarming clouds of blackflies, but I also got this little brookie:

I'm so happy now! :clapping:

Wow...that's an unusual color for a Brookie...did you keep it??

 

No, I didn't keep it. Too beautiful to kill.

I have another picture from a year ago, different stream, though:

It's an even smaller fish, but the colors on it are gorgeous...

Simply stunning

 

In all the years of angling, I have yet to catch one of those. Looks like catching one will be added to my life's To-do list before I die.

 

Great pics.

I have a little spot like that the colours are absolutely beautiful. We call them halloween brookies because of the orange colours here is a pick of one

Those colours are so beautiful on your fish. Easy to see how one can become a dedicated brook trout angler.

That's funny 'musky or specks' i've caught many specks from places like that. Around farmland at

headwaters of Saugeen or Grand R.

 

About 20 yrs. ago i caught brookies like that from culvert on side of 115 on way to Peterborough.

Turns out the little flow emptied into Cavan R. which emptied into Otonabee R. then Rice Lake etc..

Weird! Brookies are in most headwaters of Ontario rivers if you look around a bit.

Gorgeous fish Danubian. You really gotta love those small stream Brookies.

 

Halloween fish. I like that Musky or Specks.

 

In keeping with that theme, I'll call this guy "the Great Pumpkin".
