"Brook Trout Forest" all is well there.

[BRK TRT]

I crossed the Connecticut river just about sunup. I continued to ride east until I arrived at a place of solitude.



This stream is located in a valley. Its waters are pure with an amber tint. There's no anglers here, most are concerned with river flows, and hatch charts. This is a place for peace and unpretentious wild brook trout.



The native char in this stream are truly special. They possess a dark tone almost to the point of being black, this from the tannin waters.

To me, this post truly epitomizes the irony of the WB disputes going on here. Fishing ain't about arguing, it ain't about getting all worked up about what others are doing (or what your paranoid ass from the NE thinks others are up to), nor is it supposed to resemble the tea-cup ride at disney. Man, like you said peace and solitude and unpretentious brookies, of course. I think you're spot on.

Those are beautiful and unique brook trout!

Love the way the coloration makes the parr marks really stand out.

Of all the streams in CT that I've fished only two of them have brookies this dark.

Beautiful brookies for sure. Enjoy seeing your reports. Some day I will try to fish them myself.
