Trout via Musky


Yeah, it was a musky trip. Yeah, we were throwing big swimbaits. Yeah, this joker tried to swallow one. I couldn't resist taking this photo of an 8 inch rainbow trout swimbait hanging from the mouth of very large and angry bow. Me, Landon, and Walker were all but just discussing the fact that none of us brought a light spinning rod to hit a short section known to hold trout when this slime ball t-boned Walker's plastic. They started getting leader shy so we went from 50# wired leaders to 30#.

Just got started on a new piece....finally. I've got alot of work to do on finishing it up, but it's the fun part of a painting........adding the detail. I caught this rainbow last winter and got Sara to take a picture for me. It was the dead of winter and the fish had the usual dull coat on so I've had to use my own imagination for the colors. I might even put a dry fly in the snout and add a few green leaves to give it a hint of spring.
