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.

Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or support the project for an enhanced experience here.

" There is something to be said for hiking up 2-3 miles and fishing with the call of elk in the background. I'm just happy and blessed the place is there to go to when city life has me hemmed in."

It is restorative to the soul. That's why I live up here in northern lower MI, where I have spectacular fall colors out my back windows and twenty or so turkeys walking across the lawn out my front...for more see my latest post.

Enjoy your local nature and closest wildernesses, and tight lines on all species!

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

BTW if you do pop a few of those rarer species or subspecies please take some nice pics before you free them! We would all love to see them on here.
