Wholesale Friends of the Boundary Waters x Hippy Feet Merino Wool Native Brook Trout Hiking Crews

Included among the many reasons to visit the Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota is the opportunity to pursue the elusive Brook Trout, one of just 2 native trout species in Minnesota. Now, if you're talking to any fly fisherman elitist, they will proudly tell you that Minnesota does not have any native trout species and that a Brook Trout is in fact a salmonoid, or a Char, and not a trout. The elites are correct. The Brook Trout, otherwise known as the Salvelinus Fontinalis, which translates to "little salmon, living in springs" is a personal favorite species of our Founder. He may or may not have this colorful fish tattooed on his arm and as the screensaver on his phone. Obsessed much, Michael?
