Upper D Brookiefest

There are lots of Brook trout being caught here, but most are of the smaller variety. This is a great place for the 2wt and small dries. There are some big bruisers, but they are taking prime residence in the treed structure or under the cut banks. Sinking streamers or heavy stone type nymphs might just get you a big boy, but be careful not to lose too many flies in the woody debris. Good fly choices for the surface include, PMD's, caddis, Mosquitoes or Griffith Gnat's. The sub surface stuff might include, a tungsten twenty incher, double beaded peacock stone or a sculpin pattern like the Sculpzilla.
