another thread mentioned the subject of brookie streams that "no one fishes." it's speculation of course, but imho some brookie streams seldom see fishermen because people woudnt bother: the streams are small, require a hike, arent even on the natural repro list, dont stand out on a map, arent near a familiar brookie stream, etc.; no mention in a book or on the internet. never heard a fishermen mention them.
here is an example ... white house run, a lehigh trib in a separate tract of sgl 119 between highway 115 and the lehigh.. white house run is above the tree symbol in this image... it's brushy, tiny, not on nat repro, but is public and has some brookies. have to walk in, road is gated. no big deal, but there are a lot of these.
on the "extreme brookie fishing" thread, a lot of guys (Foxgap, Chaz, TB, PCray, WT2) had fished that stream, which I would have expected.. I doubt the same guys have fished this one, no particular reason to fish it really.
I fished white house run and of course saw no one. I doubt anyone had fished it for months or longer... little streams like this are common if you study maps...
so you dont really know for sure, but I think there are brookie streams that seldom see a fisherman... too much land in PA for all the streams with brookies to be fished very often...
