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 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 17 inch brown trout decided to mess with the wrong caddis pupa. I released her gently enough that she didn't dart off right away, so I was able to take an underwater post-release photo.

This king salmon was the only one I landed in a day of fishing. I hooked and lost 7 others in heavy rapids.

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

This 18 inch brown took a dry fly during early July Isonychia action.

When the lead 9" brown grabbed one of my three wet flies and started zooming around his buddy couldn't resist grabbing one of the others. This is an underwater picture of the two of them together on the line.

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'.
