Had to find an alternative to the lake since I am watching my 8 yr old granddaughter who is off from school. Decided to kill some time at one of my childhood hangouts, The Seven Tubs area on the east mountain of Wilkes Barre, Pa. This is Laurel Run Creek, a designated wild trout stream and loaded with small native brook trout.

Easily caught half dozen 6 inch brookies quickly. Of course, released all. Gorgeous little fish.

Yes, was a party place for decades with all the trash to match. Now it is part of the Pinchot State Forest, all cleaned up and also has excellent hiking trails.

Loved catching brookies as a child and young adult who grew up in the Adirondacks.  Remember to handle these fish gently with wet hands so as not to remove any protective slime.

Yes, put them in the filled bucket without touching. Removed the barbless hook in the bucket
