Tom- thanks for sharing this. Admittedly, the few times I went trout-fishing, a 5-year old schooled me on proper baits to use. I had those horrible orange balls that even the fish were smart enough to ignore. But a 5-year old stepped out with five fish he caught. Showed them to me ... and taught me to grab a live grasshopper. And once we did that: well, let's just say, "It was about to go DOWN!" :)

Lot of wisdom in 5-year olds... ;-)

Thanks for the kind words. Brook trout are the jewels of mountain streams each one is a joy to behold.
