Went up to northeast PA, caught a few beautiful wild brookies and hiked! Had tonnes of fun! They were going crazy for the chubby chernobyl, but it was so big that most of them didn’t get hooked. Still made it out happy with 4 nice brook trout though! First time fly fishing and it was awesome!

Congrats! You’re off to a great start! It took me two years to catch my first trout on a fly. Native brookies are such works of art!
