thanks for the help guys ya it is pretty discouraging ones of the prettiest fish i have caught
Been fishing brookies around the Flathead for 30 years and the decline is discouraging. FWP has decided that they are nearly a trash species and do not promote nor plant them any longer. Once upon a time, many of the lakes west of Kal. and Whitefish were brookie havens. NOooo longer. Little McGregor has a remanent population as does Spoon (Nine Mile) above C.Falls. Never caught one out of Upper Whitefish and I fished it alot. Still some in Stryker, Cliff, and the Lakes above Whitefish, although they are disappearing fast due to concentrated pressure. It's a shame. They're still one of my favorites. FWP thinks rainbow are the answer to everything these days. That, combined with our very own bucket-biologists and their affinity for perch and pike, will kill the rest eventually, me thinks. I travel to the Two Med. lakes in GNP for good brookies but winter access is out of the question.
^ True, Georgetown is a KILLER brook fishery! Especially since we'll be able to keep them after the first!!!
You may be "allowed" to keep them, but unless it is a monster that you want to hang on your wall, I hope you and other people will release them. Georgetown is chocked full of Kokanee that need thinning, hence the no limit, and they are every bit as tastey if not more so than Brookies. Keep the bows and Kokes for eating and keep Georgetown renowned for it's trophy sized brookies.
