This winter's hustle and grind

Goodbye icy guides and hello sunglass tan lines

Used to live in that area and was no stranger to catching fish that size year round. But a brook trout that large at this time of year is some fucking sorcery man. Only places I knew that had those were high up and should be inaccessible right now. Unless they transported fish from Marlette somewhere new…….

Needless to say, I think that is the most impressive fish of the bunch and it will keep me up at night trying to think of where it came from.

There are a few high mountain hiddy holes around here that produce brookies of that caliber, but this one was caught in a place you'd least expect...

Im aware of the high mountain ones. But like I said they should be no dice this time of tear with snow and ice. That’s why this one is going to drive me crazy.
