Colors of Autumn

Nothing says color and excitement like a brown trout from a stream as fall spawn is coming on. This big guy was 20-inches, hit a rainbow Rapala . . . and I still have the scar to prove it!
Fall also means the kokanee salmon run in several Utah lakes and tributary streams. The land-locked koke is genetically identical to the sea-run sockeye salmon, frequently caught in Alaska.

This is a 26-inch rainbow, beautifully spotted, but the camera just couldn't do justice to it's array of color.
