He thinks he's 20"s and doesn't know he isn't......

Quote possibly the tiniest trout I've ever caught.

With an appetite like that, it won't take him long for his size to reach his ego. It's neat to see his little pattern already so pronounced, nice pictures!

A #16 grey Haystack. There was a good hatch of the same size BWO's coming off.

Cute

The saltwater edition, from this morning -

I must have caught eight or ten of these little ones before the fog started to burn off, and lots of nibbles from their friends. A few other shots from this morning.

Hope the smoke and haze isn't bad where you are ... it is pretty rough in the valleys around here. All the national forests in the state are closed due to high fire danger.

You got my little McCloud River Redband beat. It is impressive how those little guys will go hard after pretty big (for them) prey. Guess that's how they get big...

OP and Bamboozle,
Oh a challenge. I might have you guys beat! I have to dig through my pics later to confirm :lol

What is impressive about mine is it took and got hooked on a wholly bugger.

Nice fish.

This little brown isn't quite that small... caught a few of these on #14 caddis imitations last year. Regularly catch dinks but not dink trout. Thanks for sharing!
