rainbow trout

I posted this earlier but it was to small. What are good size settings that don't degrade the pic to much?
Thanks jic2

This is not helpful- but that's a nice-lookng fish.

Not sure what size you posted at, but it looks good to me.

and what is that fly?

I can't fish anymore until spring. Thanks you've made me sad.... I like the exposure and colors.

Thanks for the replies. Slate drakes were hatching so we matched size the best we could. Dry flies are so much fun.

nice! anything still coming off the water, or are you folks into wets now?

I'm in the same (frozen) boat as vpnd: the last of the big local rivers are freezing up as we speak, it's expected to go down to -17C (1.4 degreee F) tonight...

Keep yer fly dry and yer tippet taught!

Nice capture! Fish and image.

Nice 'bow on dry. We are still having closed season here. (only couple of days left for them to spawn) I do not think I get out there before spring, but that is OK because I just had a superb season. Keep them posting.

The pic you posted have lots of details (you can clearly see the spots, blush of cheeks, and white stripe of the fins), so I would not worry about size.

would a polarizer help here?

Gorgeous shot. Glad to see someone else enjoying trout fishing in NY state.

nice shot

Nice photo
