Episode Description
Brook trout inspire a level of devotion that few fish can match. In this episode of Doc Talks Fishing, we sit down once again with our good friend and legendary biologist, Rob Swainson to uncover why.
Rob draws on his decades of research to explain what makes brook trout so unique: their reliance on groundwater, their seasonal movements between shallow warming shorelines and deep cold refuges and their incredible ability to adapt to wildly different environments.
Rob tells us why brook trout are the crown jewels of cold water fisheries, offering anglers a deeper understanding of where they live, why they're vulnerable and how respecting their habitat is the key to their future.
