I spent a couple hours in the river this evening and hooked up with 4 trout. I landed half of those. The two that eluded me jumped and threw the fly. You guessed it: black wooly bugger.

I also got the wits scared out of me when some huge mass came down the deeper run I was standing in. I was initially thinking what the? Carp? Surely not. Huge trout? Of course not. When it got about a foot from my feet I seen that it was a massive beaver just working his way across the bottom.

Good fishing fellas.

That first fish is a good sign. Wild brown.

I thought it appeared a little different. Second one is a stocked brown I assume?

That'd be a rainbow in the second shot.

Nah. Stocker brown. Rainbows generally are going to have heavy spotting on the tail, even if they don't have the well developed pink/red stripe.

I stand corrected

I'll confess something. I'm completely colorblind and sometimes with some of these fish I have a tough time. I usually do well with identification but at times it's iffy. I thought that second pic was a brown due to it not having a silvery sheen to it at all.

Either way they're both nice fish! I don't pretend to be an ichtologist
