Not fly fishing but one hell of a fish none the less.

Yes, you can tell by the way he's holding it, he's definitely a trout eating machine

Between 50 and 60 years old. Imagine, avoided being caught all those years.

I meant the fish but ok.

In North Idaho there is a $15/fish bounty on those things. They are crushing the native trout populations in Lake Pend Oreille. I believe there either was or is also a smaller bounty on them in Yellowstone lake.
