We considered not even going, but instead packed extra warm stuff and rain gear, and luckily didn’t end up needing it. It took some paddling and portaging, but the brookies we did come across were fairly aggressive. My daughter and I had a double header going at one point, although she ended up losing hers. Had a few other quick strikes, but missed them. I found out it’s pretty good entertainment watching a 10yr old try and net a splashing brook trout along side the canoe, with a small packable net that has a really short handle. After several attempts she got it. The couple we kept were around 12” and 16”. Was 18 degrees and sunny by the time we got back to the vehicle. Beauty day to be out.

Gold/orange & silver/yellow
Not too sure on sizes but I think 2 - 4
