Well here are the pair of trout I just finished up from last week. Both are repros with rocks I molded using Josh's silicone rock mold tutorial.

Thanks.. I picked up the sticks in a river by the house and pinned them with epoxy . Then just molded a bunch of rocks out of bondo and epoxyed them around the base. It looks really neat on the mantel above the fireplace.
