Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Nice fish! Trout fishing is my favorite of all of the fishing pursuits, that I have tried.

Question, what species are the fish? They look like a species of char, to me.

Brook trout. Are they native or stocked?

That’s what I thought. We have a local reservoir and one stream that was stocked with brook trout. In the particular stream they don’t grow to be more than a 5” fish. The reservoir, however, had fish that were commonly 14 - 16”.

Trout fishing is an absolute hoot and I like the creel.

Now I know why you guys leave the heads on them——so you can find them in the frying pan!

yes, brook trout are not technically a "trout", but rather a char.

My friend that is a Registered Maine Guide came to The North Country to begin his 51 st year as a Registered Maine Guide last week As he put it to me Him and his wife have been living in Maine 5 months of the year for a longtime And they love the North Country Because of his kindness to me I was able to spend 5 days of those 50 year giving me a weeks worth of insight in to how much fun that can be He has often talked of Maine and the great wilderness that it is The Moose the bobcat the coyote the beavers otters turkeys the eagle the deer and bear And of course the fishing is high on the list for many that come there in the summer for what many consider the greatest fishing to be found anywhere on the North American continent Bass trout land locked salmon are favorites among the fishing crowd And last but not least for many are the grouse and timber doddles are another 2 reasons why so many love Maine THE NORTH COUNTRY Bruce I always enjoy your posts and having spent 5 days there is no comparison of course to living there year around and learning to adjust your life style to the time clock you plan your daily actives around Your post and the storied I get from my fishing guide friend make it possible to see in the window of a life lived in Maine And by the way nice fish
