Brookies!! Pics a plenty
 
Decided to hit up a creek this morning in search of some brook trout and to try out the new rod, I'm taking part in the brook trout suppression project, which is the reason I kept all the Brookies I caught. The cutts were all released.

Those brass coloured brookies are cool. Not sure I've seen them quite like that before.

Well done!

or should I say,

Bon appetit!

Flieguy 09-09-2013 05:46 PM

Getting ready for the spawn, they are beautiful fish in the fall, very nice colours. Fish fry tonight!!

It's kind of a shame to have to keep such beautiful fish, but catching a couple cutts and releasing them makes me feel better.

Great photos! I haven't managed to find brookies that big! Your reel is awesome too. Must be an Abel?

It's a Montana Fly Company reel, much much cheaper than an Abel price wise. I've caught mostly small Brookies as well this year, just found the right spot and caught some bigger ones for a change

Incredible pictures!! Wow.

JReed 09-11-2013 11:36 AM

Nice fish, thanks for sharing! I love coming across spots like the one in the first picture, one word describes it "JACKPOT"

Norman 09-11-2013 02:21 PM

Thanks for the compliments everyone, my camera is nothing special is an Olympus tough tg-820 waterproof point and shoot, the macro works well and it takes nice pictures, I'm very happy with it. I'm a klutz and this camera takes a beating.

Alberta Bigbore 09-11-2013 05:37 PM

That last pic should be on a fall AO mag cover. Nice job. congrats on those fish.
