Rainbow trout 9

Dale, you sure did an excellent job of capturing the realism of that rainbow trout. It is so realistic, it could swim right out of that setting, and the stream bed is realistic too.

You are truly an artist. thanks for showing us a step by step of your fantastic craftsmanship.

Thank you Herb! One more piece to go. A resin top with leaves carved subtly on the water. Then  done!

Awesome, Dale! 

We used to scuba dive near Lancaster that quarry had lots of trout some were so tame you could get quite close.

This should be in a museum, wild-life, freshwater trout exhibit Dale...

What vision and creativity you had for a "chunk of wood..."

Thank you Dave ! Still a bit more to do to make it pop. Lew yes  I've seen them very tame. When I was stationed in Colorado, I used to go just to play with them  at 7 falls. Very friendly.
