Ya I am 100 percent positive. The stream he was caught out of has a 0 percent brookie population. I just think he was a stocked fish that was there for a pretty long time.

Sal, your brown, I caught one of those, in one of "those places". You know. I think we discussed this whole thing a while ago.
Only it wasn't nearly as large as yours, but larger than the other typically small wild ones I catch.  Fifteen years of fly fishing, one day I'll have a hero shot of me holding +20" wild trout. So far, it seems, I can only manage to land a nice 17"- 18" rainbow every so often.

My largest "native" was this brookie from Black Creek in Carbon County. He went about 12" or so and was one of only a few fish landed that day on what I came to find out is a relatively "dead" waterway. Took a green weenie...

It's ironic wgmiller, I encountered almost the exact same scenario on Black/Hays Creek a couple of years ago. I caught one nice 11" brookie and a small wild brown, and that was it! That really is a beautiful looking stream, it's a shame. I wonder what the story is?

Hayes/Black Creek and its apparent demise as a wild trout fishery has been discussed numerous times on this site. Back in the day (80's-early 90's) the stream was teaming with wild trout, not always easy to catch, but there nonetheless. I haven’t fished it for quite a while, but nearly every report has been the same...bad.

Just caught this guy today at Valley Creek. Took a #22 BWO dry above the covered bridge in the park. I'm used to catching the smaller wild ones here, so I was pretty surprised when I set the hook and the fish made a serious run downstream. Not massive, but an awesome fish in my book.

jay 348- thats a great fish from valley, my biggest wild trout came from valley to, if you wanna see it search valley creek and it should pop up as valley creek monster. I dont know how to post a pic on a forum yet, i prob could figure it out im just to lazy. he was prob about 15 or 16 inches im guessing i didnt measure him soo i dont know for sure, but i do know my grip on my rod is 7 inches so i judge it of that. check him out if you get the chance

Was admiring your Flooger, when I realized that brookie is HUGE!
That'll get the ol' adrenaline pumping.

Not big by any means, but it is not only one of my largest wild browns, but it is one of my first.

Not sure how many of the browns are wild but I think they all were. I am not familiar with what gets stocked and what doesnt up here, but I sure do love it! I saw a brookie in the same stream I caught all those others in, and it was pushing 15 inches. It was BEAUTIFUL.
