The most enjoyable thing about catching Brook Trout are normally the locations in which you get to fish for them. In many cases, brook trout are prevalent in mountains streams that don't contain other types of trout. Is this always the case? No, of course not, brook trout can also be found in your favorite Rainbow River, it's just that brook trout are more prevalent in mountain streams. Compared to other trout, such as rainbows, brook trout are much smaller. Of all the major trout species, brook trout are the smallest. What they lack in size, they make up for in beauty, which of you think about it, is kind of how God seems to work.
In any case, brook trout are by far the most beautiful of all the trout. Their colors are magnificent (especially during spawning season). As I said they aren't as big as some trout, but if you use ultra light fishing gear, they are still a lot of fun to catch. Walking along a secluded mountain stream, catching "brookies", and taking in all that nature has to offer is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
I keep eluding to Brook Trout being small and it's true. In most situations a 12-15 inch Brook Trout would be a true trophy. However, there are some lakes in Labrador where Brook Trout grow to incredible sizes. I'm talking Brook Trout in the 10 pound range! These trout are incredible, and probably worth checking out if you ever get the chance. The brook trout of Labrador are a wonder of nature, to be sure.
So what's the best way to catch a stream dwelling brook trout? The best way is the way God intended. With live bait. Live worms rigged on a set of #8 or #10 gang hooks to be exact. The gang hooks will help in hooking the short striking brook trout. The bite of a brook trout feels much like the 'tap, tap, tap' that you've more than likely experience with other small fish.
Grab your ultra light gear, a bait bag filled with live worms, a package of pre-tied gang hooks, and yourself and get out there and enjoy some brook trout fishing. These trout are easy to catch, and as I said, they are found in some of the most wonderful places that you can imagine. Get out there and have some fun, and maybe you'll catch a true 14 inch trophy!
