When a brookie is two years old he has the taste for minnows so thatis a big part of thier diet but at times they like other things......early spring and fall...dragonfly nymphs work well.........fall backswimmers...........minnows spawn in june and july so minnow patterns.....i have caught them on shrimp patterns, mayfly nymph and other things.........so in my fly box for brookies i would have..........leach patterns and black seems to work the best but i like a small one with a white head......green wooley bugger can be taken as anything from a dragon to a leach and of course i have my minnow patterns i would say i fish 3/4 of the times
