Speckled/Brook Trout late fall fishing
 

Going to northwest Ontario the last week of
September to fish for Brook Trout. Never
done this before. Does anyone have tips for
me. These fish actively feed only twice per
day. I'd like to know how to catch them when
they are not actively feeding. I'll be
stream fishing and lake fishing. The big
fish are in the lake and are the ones that
have the tight schedule.

Brook trout spawn in the fall. They feed constantly, like most fish.
You may not be catching them during certain parts of the day, but they
*are* feeding. They are like a woman - find out what they want and
give it to them.

Brookies in Maine will readily take a streamer in the fall.
Gray/Green/Black Ghosts, or any streamer that mimics a bait fish.
Think BIG..... 2x hook, 10x long.

Sounds AWESOME. Read "The Colonel's" (Joseph Bates) excellent books on
fishing streamers. Good advice about casting in fan patterns and tying
sparse streamers.
