Interesting Brook Trout Info from a Scientist

[sandflyx]

Surely they did. My biggest PA brookie was caught in the Lehigh River, right where a CWF tributary dumps into the river. The brookies certainly wander in and out of the tribs into warm water fisheries when water temps permit. Brown trout do now. Every year the shad netting in Lambertville, New Jersey scoops up a few brown trout in their late April and early May catches.

those browns are most likely sea runs out of phila salt water. used to catch them off the new hope wing dam in the fall with kenny schram while chasing smallies. they would run upwards of 10 pounds sometimes.
