Worth The Wait
It's not so much the fish, as the story from late last summer.
I had fished to this Big Elk Creek Cutthrout a week earlier and could not get him to take a fly.
The next time I was in the area, I hiked a couple miles into where I had seen him. I sat on a gravel bar for a little over two hours hoping he would rise when the green drake hatch started. Finally, he did. Gave him about a minute after his first rise, put a green drake dun right in his feeding lane about fifteen feet above his position, got a perfect drift, and hooked up on the first cast.

The fish are always right.
I don't have many to choose from, so here's one from my "archives". Boy I look young!

How about this full-spawn Silver Salmon from Buskin Lake outside of Kodiak, Alaska. Hooked around 3-dozen fish and only landed this one. 36-inches and fighting mad. I built the rod for the trip and this was the biggest fish I landed with it. What a memory.

That seems to be why I only landed one out of 36. I know this wasn't a trout, but falls pretty close, and its my favorite fish picture.Originally Posted by spinner1

One of my favorite rainbows. Missouri River near Cascade, MT on an elk hair caddis. July 11, 2008
I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim
Since I goofed and can't tell a salmon from a trout, I figured I better redeem myself with my favorite "trout" pic. Here it is:
Caught this past spring on the lower Henry's Fork.
