Today we’ll talk about how to go quietly crazy while trying to catch native brook trout.
Step One: Forget to bring a spool of 4X tippet.
Step Two: Have somebody steal your shoelaces.
Step Three: Drop your camera on some rocks and watch it bounce into a puddle.
The stream in question is Wachocastinook, aka Riga Brook. It comes out of South Pond on Mount Riga and travels 3 miles and change through a steep gorge, with many deep holes and a nice waterfall along the way.
