Good Day,
Nice fish!
And yes, there are some nice brookies in the Great Lakes Basin. My personal best was about 16" (no camera, catch and release...). And I have seen larger! Once I was on a wooden bridge over looking a creek. two brookies and brown, all no less than 3-4 pounds. On that same water (downstream), unfortunately, I came across a dead 17" brookie that swallowed a hook and must have broken off the night before. Sorry, can't share the waterway as it is on the unmentionables list, but I can say it was within an hour of GR. Shoot, if you know where to look and do a little research, you can find brookies in my home county, Kent.

Len,
Enjoyed your very informative article about the Driftless region in this month's American Angler.
