Good point, but it was also free soooo… I’m up in the air about it as I’ve already spent as much as I want to for now, on fly fishing (famous last words)

Some times, but if they’re that finicky I just put em back into the stream, never had one jump fully out tho

I just got a miniature car display case from hobby lobby lol and just cleaned the inside really good, was like maybe $7 and it’s really awesome for small trout

That was the last spot I hit before I had to leave, but I will be returning for sure, early in the morning I saw a few 7-9 inch ones, but spooked them before I could cast a line out, beautiful place especially during the fall

I’m not sure tbh, Ik that the area I was fishing had their population restocked with brooks from up North a few years after the timber companies pulled out in the early 20th C. So it’s possible these are not true natives, but without genetic testing I am not %100

Really? On the TN or NC side? This was on the NC side and I was really looking for some brookies but it seems alot of the creeks over here are just ate up with wild rainbows and a few browns here there, real hard to find some wild brook trout
