Fertilized eggs settle into the bottom and are covered by a layer of gravel. 🎥: Scott Sweeney | Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wil

Then, tie your line off near the top of the stick and affix a smaller-sized hook (such as a #6) and a small split shot sinker to your line. Hook a live minnow through the dorsal fin and drop it down the hole. For Brook Trout, fishing water that's
