    Outstanding on all these fish. As for that Palomino trout I can guarantee the fins on the original never looked good. Has anyone ever seen one of those that didn't have goofed up disfigured fins? Everyone I have seen usually has a club tail and the rest of the fins just look odd. Great restoration job!

    Thanks for the kind words. They are repro fins I molded. I replaced the head with one I molded also. The original fish was a stocked fish from PA. Seams like the stocked fish are rarely in good shape here in VA. I live close to East Tennessee so Im pretty fortunate to have access to lots of wild tailwater trout!!!
