In mid-January I visited a spot where a heavily spring-fed tributary feeds into a river without much as much spring flow, creating an area of (in the winter) warmer water where hundreds of brookies were stacked up.
The video quality's as lousy as in all my early videos, but it's still amazing to see so many brook trout in such a small spot.
I was able to photograph these young yearling brook trout from a distance in the crystal clear water of a small spring. When I tried to get closer, they all hid in the lush vegetation.
Several brookies gather in a warm tributary to a trout stream in the winter. This is the same location as many of the other brookie school photos on this site, but it's a couple generations later.
