Brook trout might be the most gorgeous fish on the planet. Sure, they're usually small, and where you find one, you'll often find 300 more -- but they're pretty, and they'll almost always eat a fly. 

But did you know brook trout AREN'T actually a trout? And that in some places in the world, they can grow to well over 10 pounds? 

This week on Untangled, you'll learn all about brook trout. From their life history to a few tricks on finding your own trophy brookie - and some killer fly patterns - this is an episode you don't want to miss!

  • How to approach a run you've already fished, after changing your rig
  • Why Spencer never mentions the Royal Coachman or Humpy flies
  • The three different types of flies that exist
