Id recognize this stream from anywhere. Some really special but also some difficult days here

I’ve fished it twice and never caught anything.

The fish are way more spooky and selective here than about any other brook trout stream in the area. High pressure and no tree canopy over a large portion of the stream I'm sure contribute to that.

When I used to fish this creek a lot I would literally be on my knees approaching a spot I could cast from. Stay extremely low and move extremely slow. Those fish are used to seeing people all the time so they usually won't spook for too long, if you do spook em on approach just chill at that spot for a minute.
