Brook Trout fishing in the U.P. of Michigan nearing a close, but still hot!

This trout season may be nearing an end but it is certainly not slowing down. I had one of my best trips (on 09-05-10) that I have had in a long while. I managed to land the two biggest Brook Trout I have ever caught. The female was 17" and I caught a male earlier in the day that was 16" he was much heavier (he was a tie for my biggest). I landed well over 40 Brook Trout that day. They took smaller white minnow patterns worked quickly through runs, holes and as close to cover as possible. I posted the photos below. The water was cold and I had to wear waders for the first time all year. Chris, the guy I guide for always gives me heck over not wearing waders. I like the freedom of not wearing them, besides when it's hot I like the feel of a cool trout stream. Anyway, I hope you all are having a great year trout fishing!
