I am sometimes surprised by the number of brookies in one pool of a tiny, steep stream. I attach a poor-quality image of a pool, maybe 12' x 8', 2-3' max water depth, that had half dozen+ brookies in this low-flow image. (the little trickles in and out of the pool in my fall image are it.) It's a steep 4' drop to next pool downstream, and a less steep 3' upgrade to some larger-footprint-but-shallower pools upstream .. So do these brookies live their entire lives in this one pool? Or can they move up in higher water, but move back down to this relatively deep pool for super low fall-winter flows?
