Hey, anyone can post what they like, it’s an open board, and as far as that goes, I can as anyone can, disagree with whatever. If we agreed on everything, or posts in a thread, it would be pretty boring. So, if someone is looking for a retractment on my part, you won’t get it here, I chose to disagree with what I saw as not being particularly asscoiated with the thread topic, some others said the same in private. When I began this thread, it was meant to show folks what can be achieved (some alpine trout do grow big if not huge) or found in fishing (some) high alpine lakes. The thread was not meant to belittle anyone elses catch, but the thread topic again is Big Alpine Trout. Anyone can deviate from that, is their own right to do so. But I would hope they would start their own thread if it is to drift.
BTW Jonathan, NICE Big Trout you recently posted!
Whatever, I thought it was a bit sarcastic myself. No harm done tho. But (I won’t mention any names) I did receive a few private emails saying they didn’t think it should be in this thread, so I was responding to that request because I agree, that’s all so now you know.
PS. Iam sure Jonathan has a big alpine trout photo he might like to share, I’ve seen his flies and they are superb quailty, none better IMO.

Jonathan,
you should edit (i would hope) that photo out as this thread is not to be meant for sarcasm, but to show or inform people that big alpine trout do exist in high lakes, or the end result can be a trout 20 inches and over, whether it’s kept or released. As I related previously, the topic thread is Big Alpine Trout, all are 20 inches and over in the photographs, including Glen’s and Mike’s…Glen’s being just over 20 and Mike’s 23 inches.“again with the Contax, using a polorizer filter with the sun behind me, as I rarely ever shoot into the sun, and no digital enhancement…White Chuck Mtn.

this shot of Mt. Forgotten was taken with the Contax and its shutter open until I decided to close it.

Actually, these fish are both over 20 inches, as with all the other pics I’ve previously posted. Remember, this thread topic is: Big Alpine Trout.
note:
The following thread is for Big Alpine Trout (hopefully all entered are over 20 inches) and the type which dreams are made of, ones that would win a Kingfish Award in the Hi-Lakers Club or another contest if they were enetered. But this is no contest, just superb big trout beyond the norm…[Edited on 12-11-2003 by McPilchuck]
