The Lengths We'll Go: Fishing Remote Brook Trout Lakes on The Opener

Winter was weird all over the north country. Lakes and streams had little snowpack and lost their ice early. Coming into another Opener, the weather was calling for heavy rain and thunderstorms. How would things play out this year?

Nice lakes and ponds, I am surprised we almost bumped into each other. I got a 15 inch that day. Been watching alot of your videos . Great stuff. Did you see that huge snapping turtle must be about 36 inch across. The pond dont have any fish . Sorry about the youtube page name Graves Crossing its my bands page.

You got an email? I'll tell yah where the 20" brookies are (or were, I haven't fished there in some years but I think they're still managing the lake the same. I would hate to suggest you try it and you end up not catching but that's fishing, and I am willing to share) But if you'd rather find one on your own, I understand. (Maybe you're even aware of it already or even fished it before) You and your buddy both caught some nice ones in this video, I would think you have a chance of one in whatever lake you caught them from (but who knows, maybe they just max out at 16" in there)
