The group, who was out fishing for brook trout, ended their day without much to show for it.

“This combination has been used in the Adirondacks for almost a century, The brook trout responded quickly. Unfortunately, nobody else had one,” he told NYup.com. “The nearest place was a several hour portage and trip to get there. Nobody else wanted to do that.”
