Wow what a fighter, been a while since I've had a stream trout make that many runs on me. Very beautiful too. Pretty soon hopefully their populations will stabilize enough here in AZ to catch em : )
Wow! What an awesome and rare salmonid! That is probably the biggest Gila Trout that I've ever seen pictures of. What an incredible setting as well. That is some amazingly clear water. Thanks for posting the Gila Trout video.

@IAmAmazing18 There is no bag limit when you are letting them go.

That fish took a Dave's hopper but they really aren't very picky (yet.)

That is a beautiful trout! I don't think we have those kind of trout here in Oregon. Great job!

Nope, no Gila's in OR but we don't have salmon or steelhead in NM and that's what I really miss about the PNW. Thanks for the comments.
