wbuffetjr-I'm right with you on the tastiness of brookies. While on high country backpacking trips, I've had the incredible opportunity to cook and eat golden trout, cutthroat trout, and brook trout in the very same meal. They're all fantastic; the brookies have the edge though in the flavor department.

Walleye are every bit as delicious as advertised. However, there is just something extra about eating trout, cooked over an open fire, that have been feasting on scuds.

I commend you for your diligence and progress towards you goal of a brook trout lake.
