This dun emerged from a mature nymph on my desk. Unfortunately its wings didn't perfectly dry out.

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.

I had some time to get out and mess around with my camera for some night shots. I still don't have a fisheye lens, but these would be the types of pictures I would be taking with it. The clouds were moving in quick so I only had about 10 minutes.

Enjoy, happy new year.
