I was up north for a week

[Royal]

alone while Mary visited her daughter in Portland.

I decided to take a trip down the South Branch one day. As I have said the South Branch is considered one of the premire trout streams in the country. It is very shallow and wild and I doubted there were any large trout in the thing.

I was in water about 6 inches deep and noticed what looked like a dead fish, laying on the bottom.

I paddled up stream to it as I had seen it as I passed and grabbed it. This is it. It is sad to see it go to waste. I have been told there are fish in there much larger.

I am not a trout fisherman but I think it is a Brown Trout.

much of the stream is catch and release and I suspect that someone foul hooked it, in the gills and had to throw it back anyway. It died

Did you eat it? I notice that the trees along that creek still have their leaves, will they lose them for the winter? Thanks for sharing, please have a great day! Kelley (Texas)
