Also known as brook trout to "UPPERS" (yoo-pers) aka: folks who in habit the upper penninsula of Michigan. Just got back home and figured I'd share of few picks from my little vacation.

My pick was the brookies by a mile.
Best thing about those brookies is that after a simple pan-fry, their tails become like tater chips and go great with a good beer.
Those bring back some fond memories from the early seventies when I was a boy. I would catch my limit of Brookies everyday and eat them all that night in the little brooks in Southern Vermont where my Grandpa lived. Miss those days so much!
Being a "Northerner" I can appreciate the brookie as well. We have a nice little crick in town where I caught trout after trout as a kid. They are some of the best tasting fish on the planet, bar none!
Well guys...those Brookies are still there. Go re-live some of your childhood.
