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

[pryal74]

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!

Nice brookies. Might I suggest not putting your fingers in the kills if you are releasing them.

Just holding under the plate very gently. the fish were unharmed. I knew someone would say something about it. The river I fish (which will remain un-named) is as clear as tap water and the fish were just fine. I appreciate your concern though.

James,

Beautiful fish. Those are some monster brookies. Is that stream exclusively brook trout or mixed brown/brook.
What is the avg brookie size in that stream? In Northern PA avg is 5-10" with a few 11"-12".

Hey Pryal, didn't you get dogged on troutnut for the same thing!! ;D ;D

@ twofly. Yes, most of the streams I fish on are primarily all native Brook Trout and only Brook Trout. However, there are a few streams where they do co-exist. This stream is loaded with them. The average size is around 7 inches. I never put back so many keepers in my entire life on that trip. I believe it was because of the area I was in is prime spawning territory. The biggest 3 I caught that day were 17 inches, 16 inches and 14 inches. I wanted to make a trip up to there on sunday but we just a boatload of rain all night and it's still raining now. The salmon and steelhead are in and the smallmouths are going crazy feeding. What to do?!?!
