Just more proof Brook trout fishing in the Adirondack lakes and ponds is improving. I have fished remote ponds in the Adks for over 35 years and the Brook trout fishery is way better today than when I started. All the doom and gloom climate alarmists stating the Brook trout in the Adks are in decline ,are wrong.
Cleaning up emissions from mid western coal burning power plants , reducing acid rain, and closing both USAF bases in Plattsburgh, NY and griffas afb in Rome, NY, all have helped restore the ADK Brook trout fishery. No more B-52’s dumping fuel over tug hill and the Adks..

Have seen a lot of nice brook trout, but never one that size. Wow!
If removing guns saves just one life it's worth it. Then if deporting illegals saves one life is that worth it?

Caught on a lake clear wabbler trailing a worm, classic trolling technique in Adirondack lakes and ponds. Yes most likely a stocked fish, but 3” - 4” when stocked, but still a Adirondack Heritage Strain of Brook Trout. Either , Horn Lake, Little Tupper Lake or Windfall Lake Strain. These strains of Brook trout have been in the Adirondacks since the glaciers retreated .
St Regis Wilderness Canoe Area of the Adks.. About 50 lakes and ponds there, I have a good idea which lake, but like most ADK Brook trout anglers that is classified info. LOL
