WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?
Finally got some time to take the fishing pole further upstream where colder waters abound and find one of my favorite forested creatures–the brook trout. He was just a tiny little guy, but nice to see. Down below on the same stream, I normally catch brown trout who seem to tolerate warmer water. Only a mile or so uphill the fish “transition” into brookies; I have never caught a brown trout up there after many years of fishing.
