Pictures of Trout and Salmon, Page 5
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.

This beautiful brookie comes from a very remote, crystal-clear small stream in the Catskills.
This 18" brown smashed my Isonychia nymph at the head of a nice pool right at dusk.
Brown trout are surprisingly durable creatures. I caught this one with a healed hooking wound in the corner of its mouth and somebody's Copper John nymph stuck in its side. I extracted the nymph and released the fish.
This beautiful 19 inch male brown trout hit a wet fly swung under cover on one of my favorite rivers.
This king salmon was the only one I landed in a day of fishing. I hooked and lost 7 others in heavy rapids.
This 18 inch brown trout took an experimental Isonychia nymph imitation.
Here's the official first trout brought to hand with my new small-stream rod, an Orvis Superfine 7' 4-weight. It's an appropriate fish from an appropriate water.

This is my largest brook trout ever (as of June '06), 13 3/4". It was sporadically surface feeding at dusk and took a nice spinner pattern on the first pass.
This was my first Atlantic Salmon ever, a 23" landlock from a Finger Lakes tributary. It rose up from the murky water, gulped my bright streamer near the surface, and sank down, almost like the rise form of a trout sipping a tiny bug. I set the hook and landed the fish after a fight that exceeded my high expectations.
