Dusk On Moving Water

I managed an hour out on the banks of what has opened back up here in the local area. The fish were active and hungry and I managed to find four brown trout willing to take the leech. The best fish of the night boiled on the leech right as it hit the water. There was a big swirl and immediate tension on the line as I was unable to even get a single strip in before the fish engulfed the fly. After a few leaps and a bit of a fight I brought him in and got a quick picture as the sun was setting, painting the sky in pink and purple hues.
