Seeing Trout

The brook streams are now low enough and clear enough to bring about my favorite form of trout fishing…spotting them on their feeding stations and going one-on-one with them. Seldom will you quickly spot the brook trout but you will discern subtle visual “triggers” which pull your sight to that location and there is your brook trout. The triggers I look for are the brook trout’s subtle movement, color and shape contrast with the bottom and his shadow.
