wow awesome brookies well we in maine are lucky to have lots of natural squaretails to catch but they arent that big but sometimes when you get to a flowage that aint been hit hard you can catch some bigguns no other fish compares :)

Not entirely true. The big brooks you are talking about are the "coasters" from the lakes. This fishery was already on a downward spiral from the early 19th century. Industrialization, habitat destruction, pollution, and over fishing were mainly to blame. brookies are very sensitive to the oxygen in the water, and even the ph. pollution ruins both. All the browns did was gobble up the already dwindling fishery. Same thing that happened in lake ontario to the atlantic salmon. overfishing/pollutio

@fishfinderflyfishing - not entirely true that the rainbows and browns "wiped" them out. The big brooks you are talking about are the "coasters" that came from the lake. The populations where already being wiped out by 19th

century by industrialization, over fishing and habitat destruction. They are very sensitive to oxygen in water and even the ph. All the browns and bows did was swallow up an already dwindling fishery.

oh and ya, thats a brookie, how can you mistake that for a cuthroat??? Listen to the canadian lads its a "speck"

[wagmancan]

the hyproglo - why would you mount a spawner like that? jackass. Take a hi res pic , measure it, length and girth and have a replica made of your trout. The big ones need to be released. Its a shame something gets killed for bragging rights. I like to eat my catch once and a while just like the next guy. The big guys need to be released!!!!!
