I fished a few streams by the college there a long time ago. One was great for those beautiful little Brookies. I think the biggest i ever cuaght was an 11", but if you catch them in the fall they are some of the most beautiful fish you can catch. My wife has a picture of me from when I was in college holding up a beautiful 10" Brookie on her desk. When you fish these you're fishing more for sport and the beauty these little creatures posses. Honestly was some of the coolest fishing and I too did what you did. slowly get up to the spot kneeling till I could get a nice presentation. I used a 1/64 or 1/80 ounce tiny rubber flick tail that only could cast at most 20 feet. Was super fun. One day I had a 30+ fish day. I let them all go, but never went back again, as I was worried I might have hurt some of those beautiful little fish. I would have the following year, but I graduated and moved away :(

If you ever want to find some that creep over that one foot mark, check out the Cloquet River. Very sneaky trout stream.. my biggest has come from that river. I do recommend going with a horseshoe in your pocket because there aren't many. Believe it or not my fish was caught on a 3/8 ounce red jig head with some crawler 😆

Nicely done. Love to see you having a successful trip on our home waters. FYI: Treble hooks are not allowed on North Shore trout streams.

Nice video, assuming this was 2023? If so, good to see brookies there pulled through the drought, farther up the shore the DNR is anticipating significant mortality last year. Some observations: back in my spinner days of the '70s and '80s, I found gold and copper blades was more attractive for brookies than silver in tannin-stained northern waters. I even tie Mickey Finns with gold tinsel in addition to silver. :) I commend you on your fish handling techniques, some of the videos I see are cringeworthy. Looking forward to seeing more videos in the future!

Never seen more trout in a year in my life actually, many new beaver ponds on this stream I’m sure that held them through the winter, even surrounding streams were pretty decent this year

I just went up to Duluth to try and catch some Brooks with no luck do you know any good rivers and or how far up them to fish?
@nolenPfishing Жыл бұрын
The further up the better find skinny water with deep pools! If the suns out the fish are hiding so pick a cloudy day or early morning or late eavening! There is always fish but hard to get them to eat most of the time! But When the bite is on it is on!!!
