To photo a trout -

[Brian K. Shaffer]

Sometimes you do catch a fish you want to get a picture with.. and nothing seems more graceful to me than to look at the fish while a friend takes the pitcure. I myself took a photo that is quite cover perfect one time... as he was looking at the fish and the lighting was perfect....

You can photo a fish anyway you like... but to me -- this is the most classical look.

When you are by yourself.. I know it is a different story... you might want to lay the rod down and try to catch the tail at the end of the reel seat and get a measurement that way...

But jeez.. I see a lot of pictures taken lately that look like tomfoolery.

Just a question - what's your favorite way to photo a trout you just caught ?

my best picture would havto be holding the trout with both hands , the stream in the backround along with a doe drinking water in the backround... picture perfect.

I like the "have a buddy or someone else take the perfect scenic shot of me with fish."

However in the real world a simple shot of the fish laying in my net works also. One of these days hopefully it will be a fish thats to big spilling half way out of my net.
