Keeler’s Otter Creek Brook Trout

Writer, painter, and poet Greg Keeler remembers fishing for Otter Creek brook trout (chub as well) on the waterways of upstate New York in this excerpt from Trash Fish: A Life. “I hadn’t yet developed the facility for catching trout, but I remember wandering across the bridge near our yard slack-jawed as I watched older boys walk by with willow twigs loaded with the marvelous creatures.”
