- Sunrise start again on a week of fishing extravaganza! Things started hot here with many smaller brookies showing up hungry. As the outing progressed, I managed to hit several quality browns 2-16" best, but the theme was show and no go! The video would have be well over an hour if I left every follower and nipper in. I had at least 80 fish flash and follow without connecting. Even though frustrating, I had a chance at a 20"+ and failed. There's a cool beaver scene here too! The hot late summer bite continues. Thanks and happy fishing.
New job? You're not retired? Yes, I saw that nice big trout...it came out, swiped and back it went...it was a dandy! Beautiful stream today.
@@Scott-Witter not yet, too young. That was a nice fish for sure. Happy fishing!
Hey Ron, what length and action rod do you use?? Thank you!
@@briansemingson I use a 5'6" light or medium power, fast action rod. You could go to 6', but I like the 5'6" in tight quarters. I haven't used an ultralight rod in 8 or so years. Fun, but not enough back one for larger fish. Happy fishing!
At 5:15 into the video you caught a brook trout with a deformity in the gills. Was the deformity caused by gill lice? Was the deformed brook trout a stocked brook trout from a DNR hatchery? The Endangered Eastern Pearl Shell Mussel's glochidia has a symbiotic relationship with the Eastern Brook Trout. In Finland, the DNR is restoring the Pearl Shell Mussels in all their streams and rivers to inhibit bacterial diseases in their Atlantic salmon and brown trout. Most freshwater mussels are extinct or endangered in Wisconsin streams and rivers because the DNR considered the host fish as a rough fish and not a native fish. When the DNR stocks Brook Trout they are ignorant about the co-evolution of the Brook Trout and the Eastern Pearl Shell Mussel. Also, the early button industry removed a lot of freshwater mussels from Wisconsin streams and rivers. If anyone (especially DNR fish biologists and trout fishermen) is interested on pearl shell mussel restoration in Finland google: "Freshwater pearl mussels to be revived - JYU." Also google: "Freshwater mussels can inhibit bacterial diseases." P.S. It pains me to know that when that small brook trout spawns this fall the infected brook trout will die because the infected brook trout exerted to much energy during spawning.
@@davidstakston1950 to my knowledge, gill lice do not cause the deformity. There was no obvious gill lice on the fish there. Admittedly, I didn't look that closely. Seems to me the gill lice presence ebbs and flows. Was worse in drought years from my perspective. I agree on the complicated dynamics of supporting our native brook trout. Today I will be looking at a recent HI spot. Happy fishing!
