Got my trout back

This one was deep hooked, and I kept it. This is a skin mount, I'm pretty happy with it. First cast and caught one the same size on the second cast that I put back.

Congrats on a pretty nice mount. My taxidermy guy hates doing fish, and if he did it would cost me an arm and a leg most likely :D

Nice looking fish. Any idea if it was a wild fish, a fresh stocker or a stocker that had been in there a while?

It was hatchery supported water, but downstream is a private fly club that has some big fish. The water had been up a good bit, so I think it came from downstream, but who knows. Caught a second one the same size right after this one.

Nice fish either way, and a good looking mount.
