But these fish are piscivores when in the salt so I do think they're hard wired to hit moving targets.

I've been following the work and progress at Red Brook for many years now and have been looking for an excuse to wet a line there. Your post has given me some additional motivation.<br /><br />Do you think fishing it from a canoe is an option? <br /><br />BTW, there is a great TU podcast about Red Brook as well. From the description on iTunes:<br /><br />Trout Unlimited: Sea-Run Brook Trout<br />Released Feb 12, 2011<br /><br />Chris Wood, TU's President and CEO, talks with Massachussetts TU volunteer Warren Winders about sea-run brook trout and why a small stream in the midst of a cranberry bog in Massachusetts is key to this population of sea-run brook trout.deanwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05556070054556238289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-29239625958037988492012-01-20T10:34:45.104-05:002012-01-20T10:34:45.104-05:00Some of us that are "older" will never b...Some of us that are "older" will never be able to visit a place like this in our lifetime.
