Brook Trout Basics

In this special video we examine Brook Trout in detail. From their geographical range to genetics dealing with size, this fascinating video (produced several years ago) really helps anglers to understand more about this wonderful gamefish that is prized by anglers.

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 YouTube. Thank you very much.

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

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,

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

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.

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

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.

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

[Abandoned_Brane]

love stalking spring creeks in wisconsin for brookies.

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

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.

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

[markbenn]

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

[dylanmounsey]

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

[xavierroletkbe]

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

[emjaiz]

It's Brook Trout, hope you like fish.

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

[gladegoodrich]

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.

[travistremblay]

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