Pictures of Trout, Salmon, and Grayling, Page 3
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 15 inch brown trout is the fattest I've ever seen in my life. It's not full of eggs or anything; it's just in
astonishingly good condition. It took a
Hexagenia limbata nymph imitation in the evening before the hatch.
The dorsal fin of a grayling is one of the prettiest sites in Alaska.

What could be better than catching wild brookies below a waterfall?

This 20 inch brown trout rose for an
Isonychia dry on a hot summer day while no duns were presently hatching. Sometimes during that prolonged hatch the fish look for the duns even when they're not coming off. This one fought so hard I expected something several inches larger, and it allowed me to take a photo post-release.
This little brookie is my dad's first trout on a fly. It came on opening day of the 2004 early season for trout in Wisconsin.

This is my
largest brook trout ever (as of June '06). Disclaimer: Before any C&R evangelists go for my throat, I'll point out that this is the only trout I've kept all year, and it inhaled my dry fly directly into its gills and ripped one of them out during the fight. It was mine or the herons'.

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