The Brown Trout have taken over now, reducing the Brook Trout population to 10% of what it could have been during the Colonial era, before Browns and Rainbows were introduced. Something tells me there were some Atlantics migrating up the Norwalk 300 years ago, easily. What you have found and showed in this blog are treasures that should be kept secret. Best of luck with the fishing! Catch some more Brookies!<br /><br />Flyfi Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425842480991341680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-6673703371425150792013-03-12T08:27:32.666-04:002013-03-12T08:27:32.666-04:00Rainbow Chaser,
