Pictures of Trout, Salmon, and Grayling, Page 23
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.

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!

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.
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'm holding a beautiful 20 inch brown trout from
Isonychia time.
Small rainbow from a small stream.

Lena unceremoniously releases her first self-fly-caught trout. It landed safely in its home pool.
I like the unexpected "oops" pictures so much better than normally posed fish!

This opening day brook trout was one of my first of 2004.
Oops!
This little rainbow decided to pose on its way back to the water, instead of sitting still in my hand. Whatever works...

This kype-jawed 21 inch male was my biggest trout ever at the time. Two casts after I released this one, another of about the same size savagely hit my nymph, leapt into the air, and spit the hook in about half a second.
