Working on a Palomino. As we used to jokingly say Pal-O-Mine. Cool fish. It will end up quite orange. Palomino’s golden coloring comes from a West Virginia golden rainbow trout breeding with a classically colored rainbow trout. They usually have some kind of abnormal feature about them.

Silver phase Brown Trout

30.5” Walleye from a far northern Minnesota lake. Very dark colored fish but we kept it so there is a beautiful balance between light and dark but giving it the original fish feel. And yes the original fish had a chunk out of it’s tail like the reproduction.

Been prepping a lot. Time to start painting. Just an FYI, it takes 2 to 3 days just to paint a smaller Brown Trout. A lot of layers and detail, checking and rechecking, adding more to get it just right.
