I know, it's a char but we call it a brook trout.

Beautiful pic and fish even if he’s on AK roids.

While on that topic is the little flipper for the size an easy distinguishing factor for resident/lacustrine bows up there?

It all boils down to geography. No steelhead north of Egegik.

Okay, how about close up shots…

One of a pile from the archives, but I REALLY like the scale relief of this one.

Some cooler colored fish from the last couple years. Smaller laker with cool orange fins. Rainbow with bright fins as well. Brookie closeup.

Tail on a good sized fall SRC, I thought the coloration was so cool.

Every time I see this title this all I can think of:

I should add these are Purdey shotguns...making them the Purdiest.

Redbands are the most striking trout I've caught. Dark, deep colors.

Nice chunky fish with that clicker What rod is that? Looks like enough grip space for four hand casting.

Ahh okay, those are some long rods makes sense. Really nice looking color schemes on them.

Gotta include char parts. They're purdy too.
