Hey guys,
For the past few years I've taken a trip to Montana every summer. This summer, it's going to be over 4th of July week. I typically fish most of the trip, and have some spots that I always visit. I typically do catch and release.
This year, while I'll visit those other spots, I'd love to find a spot for brookies... I would also like to try for whitefish too. I hear they're a typical by-catch, but to be honest I've never brought one to hand.
Now I'm gonna be honest, I plan to eat these fish. I'm not a "catch a limit and fill my freezer" type of guy... if I can find a place with brookies, I'll catch what I can eat and fry them up right there. Honestly, I haven't had a better eating trout than a fresh-caught brookie.
I'm not looking for the place you go and catch trophies, I just want an area with a lot of brookies(by this, I don't mean 2 fish every cast, I just mean that when a tug is on the other end its likely a brookie)... small is okay. I don't mind hiking, if its a lake in the mountains somewhere(or stream).
Thanks in advance.
