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.

Hello, my name is Todd, I live and fish in and around Bozeman, Montana. I created the "Trout Bench" many years ago for people wanting to bring the outdoors into their homes. Check out the fish benches at:

They are made to look old and worn like old fashioned "Fish Decoys" yes, that was a real thing. I do take custom orders, but Brown, Rainbow, Cutthroat and Brookies are the most common.

Thanks and good fishing

I am an avid fisherman in Bozeman, Montana. I make wooden furniture and raise my kids.
