First Brook Trout

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Savage River

This past Friday I took my daughter to the Savage River for the day, as the babysitter was on vacation. What better way to spend a day off with your daughter than fishing for some brook trout and looking for �creatures�? We spent the morning and early afternoon finding snakes, frogs, salamander, bugs and other critters until we decided it was time to catch a trout. So, off we went, 3 year old sitting on my shoulders, fly fishing for brookies in Poplar Lick. It didn�t take long until an eager 7� fish took my caddis� I put her down off of my shoulders, and asked her to reel in my fly. She was more than excited when a brookie started splashing on the other end� the days just don�t get much better than that one.
