Thursday morning I caught a fish that had a familiar grin. I have caught a lot of fish out of the same runs this year so I am sure I have caught the same fish several times but unless they have a distinguishing charateristic I haven't noticed. Well this fish has a deformed jaw that turns up like he's got a permanent grin. When I got home I compared the markings on the gill plate and am almost certain this is the same fish I caught a little less than a month ago in the same stretch of water, but with a different fly. You be the judge.

Once I catch a fish twice I feel obligated to name it. This one is obvious: Smiley.
