Underwater Shots of a Brown Trout

Lately, I've been missing the joys of fly fishing in Montana's most pristine rivers. Then, just the other day, I stumbled upon these photos I took from my waterproof camera.

Here are a few shots of a brown trout that was caught by my husband while fly fishing on the Missouri River last summer. After a big battle between them, my husband safely released him back in the water, and as soon as he was being released, this trout immediately found a shallow and grassy area to rest for a bit. So, I took the opportunity to take some up close and personal underwater shots of this gorgeous brown trout.

If I had to choose one trout, I'd pick a brown trout any day. I just love its subtle colors and beautiful markings, and there's nothing like hooking on a brownie since they're ferociously strong and known for their agile traits!

Beautiful fin



Just gorgeous


Oh, look at his beautiful spots!









Almost like a painting! Can you see him?
