If you punch in 'brook trout' or something similar into the search engine you'll find a lot of various tips people have posted previously.  All of them are as vaild now as they were then.  Not much changes with small stream trout fishing -- but that's a beautiful thing ;). 

Work upstream, stay low, use a long enough length of tippet to get a good drift (I'd rather have 4' of 5x than 2' of 6x....so length matters), and you'll catch dozens and dozens on a good day.  I've broken triple digits twice now, but we go every weekend -- all year long. I've also had days where I worked all day for a single fish.

Hi Folks,

Have had fishing for brookies in SNP on the brain the past few days. Whenever I get out there I always seem to have marginal luck mainly due to my skill in that tight and spooky setting.

Does anyone have any tips about approaching a spot and some good strategies?

I have been using 6x tippet and have tried to sneak up on the pools.

Thanks!
