Native Brookies

[6pt-Sika]

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.
