Pictures of Trout, Salmon, and Grayling

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.

Nice rainbow with just a bit of cutthroat blood in the mix

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

This fish almost got me into the coveted "20/20 club." It's a 20 inch brown caught on sulphur-flavored Galloup's Cripple tied on a size 18 3X-fine dry fly hook. It's also my biggest fish to date from the Catskills.

Fish don't get any better than this.

This beautiful 17 inch rainbow fell for a bright wet fly in late July.

A perfect brook trout.
