Pictures of Trout, Salmon, and Grayling, Page 10
Boasting is an important part of a proper fisherman's website. Look at all the big trout I've caught! Well, okay. Some of them were caught by friends. And family. And some of them weren't caught at all, but now that I know my way around a camera I can take pictures of them anyway.
Here's a little bigger arctic grayling from my first day fishing for them.

This is my dad's first wild Alaskan rainbow trout.

This beautiful 21 inch brown was the first of several nice trout I caught in the best night of
Isonychia fishing I've ever had. She smashed a big dry fly off the surface and fought like a nuclear submarine.

This 18 inch brown trout took an experimental
Isonychia nymph imitation.
This isn't quite the size of salmon I was looking for on this trip...

This little brookie is my dad's first trout on a fly. It came on opening day of the 2004 early season for trout in Wisconsin.
My dad missed strikes for a couple hours in this demanding small stream before finally catching this pretty brook trout. The stream is pristine and its trout very wild, but the insect population is terrific, so the trout (a mix of browns and brookies) are not naive.
I took great care to handle the best fish of the night, a 16+ inch rainbow trout, very gently for a picture. As usual, the fish slipped away before the photo. Here's one snapped too early, while I fumbled with the trout in the net. It's really there! Honest!

I'm holding a beautiful 20 inch brown trout from
Isonychia time.
