While fishing a Connecticut class 1 wild trout stream last week I hooked a wild tiger trout.
While reaching for my camera the trout gave me my fly back. This is only the second time that I've taken a wild tiger.
On saturday I was again fishing this stream. The sky was overcast with some drizzle.
The stream was beautiful, with lots of new growth and water temps in the mid 50's.

I was fishing a Bomber dry fly and had taken a few nice brookies,

On one particular drift along the far bank the Bomber took a violent strike, the trout was on.
After several darts and dashes, with a few strong head shakes, the trout came to hand.
It was a beautiful wild tiger trout.

I took the photo and with a good feeling released the fighter to the stream.

That evening I celebrated with
Safron Rice with Shrimp.
