Pretty fish, so colorful.

I, personally, don't know of any place I can find brookies near 12 inches, but I do know where I can catch bunches of small brookies within 50 miles of my home. I'm sure there are some places in PA where they grow a little bigger, but I'm not aware of those streams. Those are kept secret and I don't blame anyone for that. The Best

Very beautiful. I'd love to catch a brookie like those.

I go to places like you, too, to catch native brookies about the same size. I get a certain joy out of knowing I'm catching the only trout native to our country. I always think the New England states grow much bigger brookies. Enjoy yourself.

Beautiful. Do you ever pull out any large brookies from there?

I agree. I like wild fish because where I find them is usually in secluded places that takes effort to get to. Most people don't enjoy that effort.

In my world a fish is still a fish regardless of size, wild or stocked. As long as I feel that tug on my rod tip.

Nice assortment of fish. Are they wild rainbows?

That sure sounds like a great trip. Have fun! I'll be looking forward to your report.

Great photos. Thanks for posting.

Welcome from PA. Everyone here is glad to help should you need any.

Looks pretty doggone good to me.

You can't download it and I can't find a way to enlarge it. Any ideas? Sorry, I found how to enlarge the pages.

I would adjust it to wherever you feel comfortable. I don't believe there's a certain degree above parallel. Everyone is built different.

Very cool!

Looks great!

Yum, yum. Looks great!

I noticed that, too.

I've always wanted one of the HMH vises. With one of Mark's handles it would be a great purchase. I didn't know Mark had an operation. Mark , I hope it was a complete success and you're feeling well.

Very sad news.

Welcome from PA.

Welcome from Central, PA. A lot of great people here always willing to help.

So beautiful. Sometimes I just go and sit in those kind of places just to enjoy it.

Very pretty fish.
