In small streams there is not a lot of insect hatches, so the trout will not be found in locations not associated with positions where they might be found in larger rivers where the insect hatches are more profuse. So any thing falling into the stream will be forced into faster moving waters.<br /><br /><br />Jeff,<br />It's a wonderful little freestone stream.<br />That last brookie was colored well. <br />ThanksBrk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-14865122211758656172011-06-11T08:19:09.934-04:002011-06-11T08:19:09.934-04:00watch out for the snakes! great pics and i am gla...watch out for the snakes! great pics and i am glad you had a great day on the river.Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830058102437654727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-57241321778680173292011-06-11T07:32:33.811-04:002011-06-11T07:32:33.811-04:00That's some sweet looking water for sure and t...That's some sweet looking water for sure and those brookies are just beautiful!
