Pictures of Trout, Salmon, and Grayling, Page 4

Now these are fall colors.

A very nice grayling for this small stream.

This gorgeous 9" brook trout fell for a size 20 spinner on a glassy spring-fed river.

Three-inch grayling. Hundreds of fish were rising all around me to an intense midge emergence. Unfortunately, this was one of the biggest ones.

Beautiful grayling brought to hand.

This nice brown trout was so well-camouflaged at the bottom of the stream that he required a zoom lens, polarizing filter, and digital contrast enhancement to photograph. My friend Ian and I watched from the bridge as this big trout fed on nymphs for several minutes, and then we took turns trying to catch it. The selective brown practically laughed us off the river.

This beautiful brookie comes from a very remote, crystal-clear small stream in the Catskills.

This is my first-ever lake trout, caught on a spinner before we stopped to unpack the fly rods near the beginning of a 4-day float trip. I caught another of about the same size soon thereafter. The coloration is incredible compared to other lakers I've seen -- a much more believable cousin to the brook trout.
