I've spent many a fine day fishing for brookies on the North Branch of the Au Sable out of Fuller's NBOC. It's beautiful water.

Well done once again. I am involved in TU’s TIC program and I am seem to be as enamored with brookies as one can be. My group has a brook trout trip booked in Maine next spring as well.

Lane Nahmahkma and then we are looking for other rivers/places to fish. Do you have any suggestions? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Glad you liked it. Don't hesitate to get in touch. In fact, if you would like to visit some of the natives down this way, I'd be happy to introduce you. ;-)

Thanks for this! I've been thinking about writing something about the plight of brook trout. The EBTJV looks like a great resource. Okay if I get in touch when/if I ever get there?
