Not a trout but close.
On the way to work today we drove across a small stream and I saw what I thought was a good size trout take off upstream of us. On the way home we stopped for a look and spotted two salmon in a slow moving part of the stream. One of them was tucked right up against the bank so I crept over and lay on the bank, slowly reaching over until I could feel the side of the fish. I moved my hand down to the base of its tail and gently lifted it from the water. The fish was pretty spent (probably having just spawned) so a few photos were taken and it was released back to join it's mate.
Not the way I usually chase salmon but a bit of fun to end the day.
