Brookies are a no brainer. Fish them shallow on rocky, gravel or sandy bottom. Close to shore, when they're butting the action can be fast. If you get a flag and the baits gone drop another down and give it a few jigs some time you can entice them back to strike same goes if you loose one at the hole. Some times there's a few swimming in a group and they swipe at your bait as you go to reset your tipup. Nice chunky female you got.
