Default Native Brookies

Thought I would share, these little beauties were caught and released in Tioga County, PA using tiny earthworms and barbless hooks. And I got a nice bag of wild leeks (ramps) for some soup. I’m assuming this fits under a foto Friday thread!

Love those ramps! Good in salads and in cooking if you want a light onion flavor.

I would catch those little brookies in the little boreal streams in the VT hills when I was a kid. Not knowing any better when I was 10 years old I would cut a sharp stick and cook them over a little fire. Sweetest fish in the world!

Prettiest trout in the water!! We fish for them once in a while in a Wyoming Co private stream with tiny dry flies.

As for ramps, we like to make a dip with them. Nix besser!!

We catch them in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. Or should say fish for them.

Brookies are gorgeous no matter how big they are. Very nice!

Most all the "trout" I've caught over the years were brookies . And a large portion were caught very close to President Hoovers old camp in the Shennedoah National Park .

I was fishing the Potomac river yesterday where I live in western Maryland and came across a feeder stream while fishing the big river and threw out a quick cast. Wham-a nice 10 inch native Brookie. I'd personally rather catch one native fish to ten stocked trout. We have several streams around here that are full of native Brookies and the state has finally started to protect them with a no-kill clause.

Per Lee Wulff - "A trout is too valuable commodity to be used only once" . Catch and release!
