Nice catch.

In my opinion, the prettiest fish there is. I've been fishing small stream Brookies for years. Everyone can have the big name rivers, it just keeps the crowds away from the small streams.

If your ever in the market to fish a pristine lake, fortress lake in British Columbia has the best brook trout fishery in western North America. It is a fly in .lake or a 10 mile hike in from alberta. when the park wardens from Banff & Jasper ntl parks use to stock years ago, they would stray out of their boundries from time to time as they were on horseback. Fortress is one of them. brookies can go 5-7 pds easily. BC actually restricts access and the only lodge on the lake will only allow C & R. The only reason it became known and they started to put restrictions was because a genius had flown in and had filled his pontoons on his float plane with brookies, so when he landed back in edmonton, he flipped over. served him right. they are the lake nipigon brookies.

Dang, those brook trout are ridiculous. Have always wanted to make a trip to Labrador for brookies, but may have to change that to fortress lake. Looks like it get less pressure from the website.
