27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Biography & Thoughts
My father taught me and my brother to fly fish back when we was kids. It sparked my interest again when I was in my early twenties and since then I haven't been able to stop.

The city where I live has a decent salmon river and is by the sea so I mostly fish for salmon and sea trout even though I find brown trout fishing the most fun.
trout flies and salmon flies.
