Favorite Trout?

Cuttie's for me. This summer going for Golds never got one of them yet but hopefully. Of course on a fly. Yup C & R for us.

golds are rare in alberta. most lakes that have them requiring hiking long distances.

I like any trout put back to catch again another day...

...when you're catching 18" chunks on a 2wt flyrod, they gotta be your favorite! At least until tomorrow, when I may be catching browns...or cutts...or brookies...
Here's a couple that came out to play today:







Even stuck some on the dry...





Had some reel-screaming runs, & some aerial displays; it was spectacular!!!
Yep, rainbows are my fave trout...today...

I like any trout, or any fish for that matter.

Brookies are the prettest, big badass lakers are awsome!

Red bearded, black wing flying trout! I hear there is only 4 of them left in Alberta. Cuz I ate the other 3
Seriously though - Large fighters!

Athabasca Rainbows!
Small, very dark rainbow population unique to some upper Athabasca tributaries in Jasper National Park. It's the only rainbow native to Alberta - someohow flipping over the continental divide from the Pacific watershed hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Seriously!

Seriously!

Never fished for Atha-bows, but I've read a few articles about 'em. Kinda neat how they retain the parr markings into adulthood; beautiful trout!

...for now!
Caught this 21" beauty on my 2wt on Saturday; so, browns are my fave- at least 'til my next fishing trip!



Later,
