Option 1
Brook trout, You have hooked him on a bomber, in the middle of the pool, He takes you to your backing. Your using a 6 wt Fly rod, The fish is 25 inches long, and thick! You are fishing in September so He has his Fall Spawning Colours on. Hooked Jaw.  Photograph and Release.
Something like this


Option 2
Brown Trout, Hooked her on a Shrimp Pattern, sinking tip, Tidal Pool. She Takes you to your backing twice. Your fishing a 9 wt, Fish is 30 inches long , You are fishing in June So She is a fresh sea run. Photograph and Release.




Thanks

Chris

 I chose the brookie as I never hooked one that big , but I will catch a brown that size and bigger some day so I have to shoot high .

this is a no brainer for me...brookie all the way...specially on dry fly!!!

grew up fishing brookies on dry fly so that probably explains it, mind you mine were, are or probably never been in that class of fish

No contest!  Brookie all the way.  As nice as that brown is, there's no comparison between catching a fish on the surface and catching a fish on the bottom.  Everybody dreams of catching a 25 inch brookie, not many do.  Beautiful fish Perry.  I certainly dream of going to Labrador one day as well.
