Thread: Brown trout

  1. #1

    Default Brown trout

    Here is a mount I just finished for a client. This is a reproduction I did using a pic and the measurments. The fish was released to fight another day. The fish was taken in the Bitteroot river, Montana. 25" length.

    Hey Mike,

    That looks splendid. Bet your customer was one happy camper after seeing that.
    Happiness is wading boots that never have a chance to dry out.

    Thumbs up

    Mike -

    Here I am, debating whether to move to Missoula or not, and you go and post a brown out of the Bitterroot !!

    That was one nice fishy, and your reproduction is OUTSTANDING.

    John

    Just kidding about "debating" whether to move to Missoula. My wife starts a job with a new employer up there on 7-13, and if all pans out as expected, we'll be listing our house here by mid August and completing the move as soon as possible.

    Which reminds me - give me a heads up when you head for YNP. Would enjoy getting out on some streams with you and taking advantage of what you can teach me about that place.
    The fish are always right.

    Really nice work on your part, Mike. Nice work on the angler's part also.
