I tell ya, I caught a male brookie the middle of december near the county dock that made my whole year. He was right around 3 1/2 pounds and fought like a sonofagun. I don't know how he didn't saw my line off on the bottom of the ice. I wondered for awhile if I had an otter hooked or something! Prettiest spawning colors I have ever seen. Wish I would have had time to take a picture, but right back in the hole he went because I had another brookie on another pole trying to steal my gear. Caught him in about 3 feet of water. On a side note, we did catch a lot of brookie's up there during the ice season, 99% female. If brookie's start to get out of control at Henry's, maybe F&G could up the keep limit on them like everywhere else...just a thought, that's it.
