What do brook trout do in the wild?
Most brook trout live in water between 60 and 80 degrees F.
They feed on fish, insects, snails, and crustaceans that are caught in the waters that provide them food. Fishing from shore creates little danger to fish, as they are protected by their thick skin. A lot of small game has to be taken down to ensure the population of brook trout remains healthy.

How do I know if I am encountering a brook trout?
Most people do not catch a brook and it is probably not the fish that has made them so curious. They have a hard shell with a wide base. This helps with them surviving underwater.
The fish can easily be seen from the surface by watching them. They prefer to move along the bottom, or move toward a predator. If they move toward you, they may be an angler. There are several possible ways to introduce a brook into a group.
First, make your way to the shoreline to see if they swim toward you. Second, wait to see what they do, and then lure them in. It is best to use small fish for this. If they are not attracted, it is probably the right time to bring them over.
Brook trout have a poor metabolism and are very poor swimmers. Small fish are most likely to make a mistake.

What should I do if I come across a brook fish?
If you can't see it, you may just want to leave it alone. Some people want to try to teach them a lesson, though sometimes it works a little better to wait and let them know that the water is cold.
This will usually get you a few inches nearer to one of the fish. This is called "battery fishing, " and can be one of the great fun things you can do to learn about freshwater fishing. A common rule on the water is not to feed the fish– this could trigger its reaction to attack you.
The best way to teach them is to lure the fish into where it may attack you, and to let it come on and feed you. If you have a small catch, you may be able to take it to the fish- processing plant to be processed in the pet food industry.
If you do not want to wait for that, you can just take the fish to a local fish food store. It is not a big deal to get a few steps closer before you encounter a brook in the water.
