Brook Fishing

Listen, it sounds late in year to be fishing brook trout in streams, but it is like spring fishing still. Water is high, bugs are out and fish are fat. We are kayaking, with otters, streams that should be high and dry this time of year. And yes we are getting fish. One thing is for sure, trout have been dispersed well this year. The fry are growing and the water is pushing them back into beaver ponds or out of ponds, down brooks to new holes and expanding their range. Bad news, good news. Salmon stocking in alligator is off - fish are not reaching the size they thought for food in lake. Hopkins brook trout remain a mystery in the summer, but this fall rumor has it 14 inch will be stocked.
