Bright brookie

[Acristickid]

This is the brightest red brookie I have ever caught. Took advantage of the weather yesterday And hit small stream in Laurel Highlands.

My take is most streams in the Laurel Highlands have wild trout- some creeks have low densities but I have been finding many with good populations.

That's the most brilliant red I've ever seen on any trout. Very nice.

Beautiful fish!! Love the trim on the fins!! All the good work - sewer remediation, etc. in the LH is paying off.

That is impressive. I have certainly never seen one that red before.

What a difference a day makes.

Yesterday in the peaceful mountains and 64 degrees. Today, 27 with breezy conditions and hauling scrap and lifting railroad ties.

Beautiful fish... But I heard you quit your job and moved to MT. Work is for suckers!

Thanks for sharing. That gemmie must be a ruby. Making a trip over there tomorrow, maybe I'll try to find him and catch him.

That's a classic. Apparently that silly name is sticking around.

I only use it semi-sarcastically since a lot of the guys on here use it. Some think their are too good for the wee brook trout, some use it endearingly. I don't really use the term myself. It's a funny one for sure though.
