Here's an underwater post-release picture of a 15" brown trout I caught in a clear Catskill river.

This beautiful 20 inch brown trout took a dry fly placed very tight against some overhanging alders. I was proud of that cast even before the trout smashed my fly. This brown is so vibrantly colored that as I caught glimpses during the fight I began to wonder if it was not a brown, but a monster brook trout. It turned out to be a very bright red/gold brown trout. The picture, fine as it is, doesn't do the trout justice.

A small brown trout returns to the clear water from which he sipped my tiny ant imitation on a hot August afternoon.

A small brown trout jumps at the end of my line. Photo by Sandy Neuswanger. Yes, the most popular photo on this website was taken by my mom when I handed off the camera to play this fish!

A pretty 8" brook trout.

Here's a beautiful little brook trout in the 9 inch range.

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.

A pretty small-stream brookie.
