Your Top 6 Brook Trout Flies?

Are the streams in that area all slow moving, low gradient streams, or are there some with more gradient and velocity?

That's a good question.

Based on my research, and very short time spent up that way on a few streams years ago, its a mix. They appear to be what we would call 'Freestone' in PA, at 1st glance, but most have significant sand bottoms, some have more subterranean spring influence than others, many in the forest are stained with tannins. I think they will be similar what I encountered in the UP of MI last year. Pure limestoners, that the Driftless area southwest of there is re-nowned for, they are 'not quite'.

Got a receipe?

I don't think the brand matters. I used to find they enjoyed the brown filters over the white.

I always found them to hold onto a menthol longer as well.
