I like the spots on this one:

Me too. Beauty of a brookie.

GF,

Was that brookie hooked, or just sitting there?

It is what it is. The scientist use it for identification, I bought mine from a Japanese web site. It gives me a few more seconds to look at the trout, take pictures without handling it. I catch the trout, net or hand and into the box, camera.

It just gives me a few more moments to be able to check the fish and have a uniform background for the identification. It also removes any "well it was about this big" :D

I like it although the images are a bit sterile, for this kind of thing, I don't mind taking away, it actually ads detail by uniformity to the identification.

More Sakasa Kebari (only one fly) trout taken.

GF,

Was that brookie hooked, or just sitting there?

It was after a C&R, it was laying there for a moment.
