Some of the earliest English writing about the new world included descriptions of the fish that were encountered. Some of those fish were brook trout, and the words penned about these amazing little char have only increased over the centuries.

There are many books that focus on brookies. Some focus on history or lore. Others focus on biology or ecological matters. Then there are works that straight up help people catch fish. Today I’m discussing three that are worth adding to your angling library. One of them is, in my humble opinion, a non-negotiable necessity for anyone interested in eastern fly fishing.

Watch what else I have to say about the books, and find out where you can pick them up, below:

Look for all three books   at your local bookstore or, of course, here.
