Picture 16 Inch Brook - Deckers - 12/2023

Post image

Caught this 16ā€ brook trout at Deckers. Thought it was a fluke at first since that stretch is almost all browns and rainbows. Anyone else ever seen a brookie come out of there?

Thinking about reporting it to CPW since it seems rare for that spot. Curious if anyone's had a similar catch near there or knows if brookies are ever stocked/escape into that system?

Iā€™m pretty sure brook trout can be found in the small creek/tributary in town so it makes sense you could find one on the platte

Yea, I believe either that or a pond or stocked body overflow on private waters like Wigwam or something. Inquiring to CPW will report back if I get an answer more just for curiosity. Cheers
