A couple of weeks ago a co worker told me about a small brook coming off of Mt Washington that held some trout. Knowing he doesn't fish I asked how he knew and he showed me some pictures his brother took of a few trout swimming in a small pool. That was enough for me, this morning I got up at 4 am and drove up to the lot just below the Cog Railway and mDe my way about a mile up the trail to what I now know is Clay Brook. I spent a couple of hours there and caught a bunch of native Brookies that were just beautiful, with the biggest gong around 9-10 inches. While it was far from easy walking along the Brook, it seemed that every pool I found that had depth and was fairly flat held trout. They were a ball on my 3 weight, I caught some on an elk hair caddies but most were on a bead head Pheasant Tail. Some of it was sight fishing, which blew my mind in such a small stream. The bonus? It was still pretty cool along the stream while I was there, no humidity or heat yet!

Nothing like wild Brook Trout . Nicely done.

Thanks Lee, for some reason I am struggling with figuring the picture posting thing out. I'll get it someday!

David take it from me and Lee will testify to this. I without a doubt messed up loading videos pictures more than anybody here. You'll get it . Keep plugging away.

 Nice report, I have a friend that lives just a short distance from this spot and he fishes it often.
