Chased this 12" trout, stalking him for over an hour before nailing him after sunset.
Despite valiant acrobatics, this one did not get away.

Sorry to say, but I think it is way too small for you to eat, send it down here to feed my six year old please.... 
They are a lovely fish to look at, caught one years ago spinning in a lake, around 14", I was so stoked, never caught a trout since, but it was a great memory and meal too.
I think I spent 3 hours flipping lures, well worth it.
:Y:
Nice catch.

Nice catch.
This one made me work hard for it & of course I did not bring the fly rod.
Waited til it went sub surface to feed & it smashed the lure hard.
Sometimes you just need to wait for opportunity & nail it.
