Pictures of Trout, Salmon, and Grayling, Page 7
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 is my first-ever lake trout, caught on a spinner before we stopped to unpack the fly rods near the beginning of a 4-day float trip. I caught another of about the same size soon thereafter. The coloration is incredible compared to other lakers I've seen -- a much more believable cousin to the brook trout.
It's hard to capture the full beauty of a well-colored arctic grayling in a photo that can't show its iridescence. This one was just so colorful he pretty much made up for it.

This beautiful little rainbow trout was feeding in late afternoon in the narrow tail of a reliable flat.

This is probably my largest grayling to date -- it's about 18 inches.
The Kuparuk is known and written up in the guides as a good grayling fishery, but this is the only one I caught when I fished half a mile up from the road. Grayling can be fairly migratory, and perhaps they were already elsewhere preparing for winter when I fished.

The first fish on a fly of 2011 for either of us, and she caught it while I was still rigging up my rod.

This fun little brown trout was one of many caught during an evening of excellent caddisfly activity.
