Trout fish buckle in Bronze

Trout in Bronze

This particular carving was done using a Snake river Cut throat as a model. This is a pretty rare fish but, with out color, all the trout species look pretty much the same. The Rainbow is probably the most common and sought after of them all. This is the smallest of the buckles and fits on a 1 1/8 belt The leaping ability of the rainbow is legendary. A hooked rainbow almost always skyrockets from the water, often a half-dozen times, before coming to the net. Rainbows are less wary than brown trout and more willing to bite. They are a favorite of fly fishermen, but can also be caught on spinners, spoons, plugs, and a wide variety of baits ranging from worms to small marshmallows.
