Took a trip upstate NY, run has just started, but I did fairly good. Rusty Brown Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Flies size 8 was the bait of choice. Water still fairly warm, a few more weeks it should break open. Hooked 10 landed 4, biggest 28", will be back up late Oct or early Nov, Lake George NY

Nice ! Looks like a Brown Trout. You weren't fly fishing a lake I take it but a near by stream ?

Nice Gypsy I was up 2 weeks ag
Did more relaxing than fishing. I didn't really see much going on in that spot. This cold spell should get things going good luck on your return trip

I am not a biologist or anything, but it looks like a salmon to me. Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between brown trout and land locked atlantic salmon. Nice fish!
