Actually, they're Brook Trout in Ripple. It's a great place to teach a kid to flyfish: lots of room to back-cast, lots of starving, colourful little brookies, in jaw-dropping scenery.
* Tip - bring a zip lock bag, and fill it with water so the kids can admire the brookies colours before release, without squeezing it to death.
