How would you like to catch these two amazing brook trout on 2 casts?
It was three years ago on tiny water.
I had never fished the stream before.

Looks to me like it is the same fish. That ol' brookie must have been starving to eat a fly on back to back casts !!

The fish are always right.
not same fish...one inch and half longer and much heavier.
I always let my fish go downstream of where I catch them so they don't alert the rest.
Look at the gill plate...
They are brothers but not same fish.

Brothers or not, it is remarkable that the spot patterns behind the gill plate, for sure, and along the belly, best I can tell from these pix, are identical !!!
On the trouts I catch, which don't include brookies, spot patterns are like fingerprints. Do you commonly find identical spot patterns on two fish in the same tiny creek ??
Not trying to be argumentative, Len, just curious how brook trout are so different from other trouts.

from same outing

Its impossible to argue with the length and girth measurements... But John, I agree with you that the spots are, as far as I can tell, IDENTICAL. Perhaps what we are witnessing is in fact TWIN fish (brothers indeed...but more special!), that have experienced slightly different growth rates over the many years it has taken them to reach their current sizes.
Catching TWINS on back-to-back casts....how cool is that???

I understand the questions.Originally Posted by JohnScott
This stream is 3 feet wide in most place.
serious head water.
I remember the outing well.
I caught the smaller of the two first and took it down stream to release it. I do that so as not let the trout alert the hole.
I have a standard pattern too also as far as photos.
No more than 2 of a fish and off it goes.

I went back to the uncropped versions of the file in my photo archives.
I am some times stubborn and pigheaded,
This is the only other brookie photo from that outing.
I try to say I am reasonable

The red spots look most identical but, look at the yellow spots. They are different. At one point both fish have a row of 6 yellow spots but, one one fish the y continue downward and the other has an of set yellow spot. Atleast that is what I see with my old eyes.
I put both originals on a measuring grid today.
OBVIOUSLY two different trout
