Those little brookies are some great tasting fish.
The cold water creeks ditches and beaver ponds are polluted with them here.

I bet those are good eating

Nice trout Bruce! Some great eating!
One of my favorite brook trout streams has been taken over by browns. They have ate most of the brookies and some of the brown trout are reaching the two foot mark. I would much rather catch the smaller brook trout for eating.

Must be on a diet to keep that little fingerling!

You worm dippin again Bruce.....lol

Nice brookies!

Yep always

lol ……bigger then smelts

…. Mines bigger

The small brook trout are much better eating than the big ones.
And they bite like pirahnas

Cast a small spinner towards an old beaver feedbed and you can see 5 or 6 brookies chasing the spinner in the crystal clear water.

Bet that meat is as orange as an Alaska Copper River too... congrats.

They sure are good eating.
I wish we had the problem with them "polluting" some streams around here.

Nice

Do you cook them and then lay them on a Saltine?

I just gut them and fry like bacon for breakfast.

Slimy nasty trout

That's about 1000 dollar fine for under sized fish in these parts.

6 inches to be legal here in Maine.Very tasty

^^^^^… oh no … 160 gonna be on that like a bald priest on an alter boy
