Brook Trout Basics

[@Sailor-Dave]

Gosh, I love these older shows! The music, the videography, and Colin McKuen made this so much more appealing than your average fishing show. The newer shows are good in their own way, but everything magical about flyfishing and nature really came together in these shows. You always remember your first love, and these were mine.

I have to tell you for the actual trout fishing I find this is the best and most informative channel on KZbin. Thank you very much.

[@newflyfisher]

Appreciate that feedback, take care!

[@dangerrrnick5005]

Dr Jack Imhoff. I’m sorry. That is amazing. Amazing video as well

I caught a beautiful 5 inch brook trout fishing a heavily stocked creek in PA 2 weeks ago. It was better than catching an 18 inch rainbow to me, and I was just happy to see them still existing there

At 60 years of age growing up out west in the USA, fly fishing was just natural and what we did. I remember the big stringers of bows and browns and fish fries at the end of a two week fish camp. I remember the pink meat of Brookies - never knew them to be a different species; most were so small we didn't keep them. Wonderful days and the best of times. I wish people could see them today, but time changes all. Makes me sad, but I am happy that others can follow; even if it is different. God Bless on this Easter eve,

Don't be too Happy. The environment that you knew as a youngster is no longer. Uncaring corporations whose only interest is Money have destroyed the health of the environment along with the health of the humans that live in it.

​@@onemorething100that's pretty much what he just said my dude.

[@Abandoned_Brane]

love stalking spring creeks in wisconsin for brookies.

Always learn something from your great videos. All of our trout are introduced in Australia. We mainly have browns and rainbows (last two or three years, Browns are more common, they tolerate our warmer climate better). There are small numbers of Brook Trout in at least one Southern Alpine river and lake. I have seen some when hiking and need to put catching one on next season’s bucket list. Thank you for all your videos.

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks for your kind words and insight into trout fishing in Australia. Good luck catching a Brook Trout this coming season! Cheers

[@analogalbacore7166]

Thanks for the info

[@tstthomason]

This video is incredible!! Was this a series? If there were more videos like this, I would love to watch them.

[@Trialsrider112]

I like fishing for brookies in Rhode Island and vermont even though they are small my excitement isn’t , although it is getting harder for me to find them in RI where in the past I have always caught them. Thank you for your channel

[@joeschmoe3202]

It's getting harder to find them everywhere.

[@dylanmounsey7515]

Joe Schmoe the rainbow yearlings r taking over lol I feel you on this. I’m struggling to find specs right now and I’m pulling out all my old spots . Glad I don’t have anyone to impress

[@Greedilox]

Such an incredible episode! :D

[@johnkinsfather64]

I am in the Southern Sierra of CA. We find Brooke trout in higher elevations, small streams and are usually in the 4” to 12” range most 6/8”. They are easily spooked but also very opportunistic.

[@zazamicofifi]

great video

[@IoT_Me]

Love these video's, Good way to beat the lockdown Blues.

[@rogerthat309]

Brookies are my favorite!

[@joeschmoe3202]

Fracking has alot to do with erosion and pollution of lime stone streams in PA leading to major changes in the ecosystem and causing habitat loss for the wild brook trout and other species as well.

[@dylanmounsey7515]

Mannnn I went back to all my decade old spots along the Niagara escarpment and the frickin bows have taken over!!! I saw a big flash of red and orange but haven’t seen a brookie yet :( and all the pools filled up n got so shallow

[@newflyfisher]

sorry to hear that, how things change

[@dylanmounsey7515]

The New Fly Fisher actually I was reading up on it a lot last night. The fish were thick in the pine way back but in the 1800s mills in Horning’s Mills were the beginning of the washout. I still see great trout everytime I go but even compared to fifteen years ago it’s nothing what it was. Honestly I shouldn’t say decade old spots , I’m sure my great grandpa fished those creeks.

[@dylankoontz2779]

I’ve found that the brook trout bite more when a cloud comes over or when it’s about to rain slightly.

[@NoRodnoReel]

Thats crazy the last two times I caught brook trout it was cloudy and about to rain.

[@BrookieCooki84]

They can sense the pending change in pressure and know the rain knocks insects into the water. It’s the dinner bell. Lol.

[@JM-bb8xi]

Ive been looking for rookie video

[@markbenn1907]

Crazy when you are in a small stream catching tiny fish and see an 18 incher go by you.....

[@Krebzz]

I love you.

[@xavierroletkbe6394]

Isn't a stocking program about the worst thing you can do to wild fish ?

[@keiranrooker7981]

I know a guy who went and caught a bunch of brook trout ice fishing and brought them back to my stream with native brook trout when I find that guy out on my stream he’s not going home with his gear

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Brookies are such beautiful fish. We had a private lake here in Utah full of wild reproducing brook and brown trout. Fish and Game decided to kill them and replant Bonniville cutthrought. So they killed wild fish that are survivors and replant hatchery fish that couldent survive. Common sense seems to be disappearing in America.

[@emjaiz]

It's Brook Trout, hope you like fish.

[@robaldridge6505]

interesting...BUT your CC sucks.... english as a fourth language ???

[@travistremblay3844]

Sorry bud but us native people were catching trout long before the first settlers got here..
