driftless area Posts: 58	Last year after the big floods (southwestern wisconsin) this dam was knocked out. The area was about 5 feet shallower. ALL the trout were centralized in three areas. Just at the end of view in the photo..... Last day of season....I saw a commotion way in the foreground of this photo... I went up to see what I thought was a beaver dinking around. As I got closer i was WOWED. It was giant brown chasing down little brookies in the shallows and eating them. I got my camera out a little to late. The brown was minimum 28 and fat. 3/4s of its body was outta the water when it was chasing the brookies...saw the brookies running like minnows....too far away to get good movie. The water is back up to the level in the photo. It is about a 100 yards stretch....two beaver dams make it so it can't leave. I usually don't chase brookies because they aren't much of a challenge...Will this spring
