umichjesse Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I got into some bruiser brookies last week. They have to be my favorite fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slabasaurus Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I like how the spots on the fish are larger than the strike indicator. Very, very nice fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted4887 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think that's an egg, but I might be mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slabasaurus Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think that's an egg, but I might be mistaken. I think you may be right... That would make an awful lot more sense. still... it is bigger than the spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umichjesse Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 These were north shore fish in the river eating steelhead and sucker eggs. Caught them all on egg imitation flies and even one on a bead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnAFly Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 If it weren't for the dark water in the background, I would swear those were Nipigon fish. Very nice catches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odonata Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Oh....my.....Those are some of the nicest brookies I have seen in a while. Nice catch, thanks for sharing the pics. True brookie pigs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Gorgeous brookies and very nice sized. Sweet pics and fish Len, this is crazy fat..... If there were laces instead of a dorsal fin, I could've thrown the perfect spiral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchmesir Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Fat with food or fat with eggs? Either way that is one plump brookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwal Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Brookies are fall spawners so fat with fat.Mwal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garett Svir Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Awesome catch! Let's hope this is a sign that the giant coasters of Lake Superior are making a comeback. It would be great to have a viable fishery like on the Nipigon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
