Baetis

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.

Hi Fredw-

My guess is that the problem is not with the size of your image, but with the format of your image. As I recall, uploaded photos on this site are required to be in JPEG format. Are you able to save your image as as a .jpg or .jpeg file before attempting to upload it?

Best regards,
