Then, further down, I saw a trout leap at a butterfly--a good big brookie, maybe fourteen inches long--and remembered I hadn't come here just to sightsee.

It was as though an immense trout had leaped and split the surface.

As she leaned forward to do so, before our very eyes the trout leapt from the water, about three feet in the air, did a neat twist and landed at my feet in the bottom of the boat.

A speckled trout leaped at the insect, forming a silver arc in the sunshine, then plopping into the beck.

A suspicious twitch seemed just odd enough to test, and as I lifted my rod a very dark rainbow trout of almost 16 inches leapt from the water, re-entering like a knife blade.

Far from the shore, a trout leaped four feet out of the water and landed with a smack on the surface of the lake before vanishing once more.

In the private lake at the back of his property, he could almost hear the trout taunting him, leaping and splashing with complete impunity, knowing he was too busy to get at them now.

The trout leapt and broke the 8x tippet.

A trout leaped, and fell back in a silver circle.
