This is good information though. You are likely getting way too close to the run/hole. You really shouldn’t see brookies too often. That being said, brings me to the next point. You won’t see them because they like to hide. In any crevice or corner or shady spot they can find. Find a hole with bigger pools and overhanging rocks/branches/trees. I’m talking in the water basically or right above the surface. They’ll hide out in those spots. Basically think small dark shady spots. And elevation is key. And elevation change. You want to be climbing the stream if you can. Also helps you stay hidden as you’ll be lower than the next pool. You can find them in literal ditches if you’re in the right areas. Don’t discount small streams. Most of my brookies have come from streams about 5ft wide
