Discovering - What is it about Brookies?

What is it about Brookies?

I thought it might be nice to share an episode of Discovering to help us get through the doldrums of winter while we wait for the last Saturday of April to arrive. Just three more months to go…

Some of my favorite quotes from the episode include:

“...We set up at a campground in the North, East, West, Central part of the Upper Peninsula…”

“Now normally, you have a pair of hemostats. But somewhere down the trail, I lost mine…”

“Brook Trout do not grow in ugly places… They don’t. They grow out in the wild. Real Brook Trout are out in the places that no one else wants to go. They’re not… - You can’t catch them just by walking down the path. You can’t do that… You have to get out. You have to beat through the Alders. You have to beat through the Pine trees. You have to beat through the swamp. You have to get lost once in awhile. That’s where you have to go to find trophy Brook Trout...”

“If you don’t like bugs, then you don’t like Brook Trout…” (Note: I can’t stand mosquitoes, black flies, etc, but somehow, I try to endure them when it comes to fishing for Brookies.)

{OK, so check out Dude at the 10:27 mark. The type of cast he is employing is critical for small stream fishing. Learn it! Know it. Love it. - You’re welcome. Again at 11:53 or 12:40 through 13:08 Once more at 13:37 – It’s a great technique to be comfortable with.} Edit: Sorry the times are wrong for this version of the video on Youtube with the Woodtick Music Festival ad in it... Just look for the underarm bow and arrow or sling shot casts.

More quotes:

“And part of it for me is literally an act of worship. I get to be in Gods country. I get to enjoy his creation, what he made, and just fully… just, soak it all in… every ounce of that is enjoyable, even if I don’t catch fish...”

“The fishing is more than going after the fish. It’s about being outdoors. It’s about being out with friends… and sharing an experience with people. That’s really what it’s all about… - Amen.”
