I work a certain type of job that allows me to occasionally fish pretty heavily at work (I am a restoration technician). Recently I caught this large squaretail out of one of our project streams. This is a fairly small stream, less than 5 meters across in most places. I have fished this stream from top to bottom and never caught a trout over 12 inches until this fish, which measured 17 inches. My running theory is that this fish moved in this spring from the larger river that this stream meets 1 mile from where she was caught. Does anyone else have experiences where theyve caught larger brookies in bodies of water where everything was small? It has been my personal experience that big trout are in bigger streams and they heavily adapt to their waterway. I know in places with reproducing browns they can be a lot bigger in small streams, but how about brookies?

There’s a tiny creek behind my house that sometimes goes dry but is connected to a lake Iva caught a few over 16 inches there many places like that are good as they are often overlooked and not fished by others small streams can be very rewarding if you know how to fish them
