Thats for sure. Biggest brookie I ever got was a 14"er in the West Kill. A very shallow creek that feeds the Schoharie. Mostly 6 to 8"ers all day and then this monster, lol. It felt like a monster on my little 2wt rod.I love those small creek brookies. People would be surprised where you can find them.
Still do or they dart around and then don’t bite. I take my son and his friend from my church and the one kid never gets it. I try to tell him and he uses trout magnets not worms. Worms are the ticket.When I was doing a lot of stream fishing I remember having to actually sneak up to some of these little brooks like a friggin Navy Seal to have any luck catching anything
