I returned to one of my favorite Brookie streams today to fish it before deer season. I fished a 1/2 mile section of the stream that I caught over 20 fish last trip in the summer and today I fished the entire stretch without a hit. I could see in every holding spot and never even saw a fish. I'm trying to comprehend where all of the fish went. The steam has a very extreme gradient, dropping 600 feet in the 1/2 mile I fished. The fish would have a very hard time moving down stream and it would be almost impossible for them to move beyond a 50 foot water fall up stream that I've never caught fish above. Does anyone have any insight or experienced this this time of year?
