Brookie info

Technically speaking, brookies are usually called trout but are actually char. Compared to of the other trout, brookies do not grow very big. Under most circumstances such as those found in waters of northern Quebec and Labrador; brookies can grow to more then ten pounds. For the most part brookies caught in average-size streams will range between 6-9 inches and 11 ounces to 2 lbs. Brook trout over 12 inches should be prized. Although catching lunker fish never leaves the average anglers mind catching brookies is always a great and somewhat challanging. Brook trout are much easier to catch than browns and rainbows. Brookies maybe small but still gorge themselves with minnows, crawfish, salamanders, and eggs from larger fish. Since brook trout feed on so many different kinds of bait the population of brookies has been on the downfall for many years, because many anglers keep several of the fish they catch therefore they are frequintly stocked. The habitat of a brook trout is cool and clear oxinated water with the water tempuratures ranging from 40-55 degrees farenheit, also the vegitation is limited.
