    Wow, what a beaut, reminds me of the large rainbows lurking underneath the salmon farms on the hydro canals near Twizel. Locals often catch so many they have to bottle them as there are too many to eat, or swap for some thar meat!

    I might be mistaken but I believe this trout mount is hanging in the Cabela’s in Dundee.  I overheard a storeclerk talking about it’s recent arrival.  It’s all the way in back in the with the lures.
