Dad has kept about 5 fish total out of that reservoir over 8 years - not 5 yesterday. The one he kept was the only one he caught yesterday, and the one and only time he will fish the reservoir till next spring because he met his quota for the year. This trout was a male, had it been a female, dad would have released her for breeding.

Please, if you can't be happy for him, and struggle with him keeping the fish, please don't respond. We will eat the entire fish tonight - it will not go to waste. I simply wanted to share with you all a beautiful fish that a fellow fly fisherman caught.
