My dad missed strikes for a couple hours in this demanding small stream before finally catching this pretty brook trout.  The stream is pristine and its trout very wild, but the insect population is terrific, so the trout (a mix of browns and brookies) are not naive. From the Long Lake Branch of the White River in Wisconsin.
