    The Underwater World Of Brook Trout

    So I was fishing a small stream in NY state on Memorial Day when while standing in a sunlit pool I realized I was surrounded by brookies. These fish had no fear of me. Guess they don't see many predators or fishermen down in the ravine where the stream is located. Either that or I'm the "Brookie Whisperer" :) Took the first underwater shots with my new camera from wifey for my birthday (newest generation Pentax Optio, WG-1). If my friends are there next time, I'll take a video.
    This is what the camera saw when I slipped it under.
    Hope you enjoy.
    A.T.

    Really cool. That's a pretty good camera you got there. Did you catch many of those good looking fish?

    Satoshi, almost all of them are. I think there were a couple small minnows or dace in the area as well.
    This stream is loaded with brook trout and nobody fishes it. Just the way I like it. :)
    I have caught one wild brown there.
