Sad Little Trout

I found this dead little fish in the stream on Monday and was quite upset as it was so beautiful.  It was very small, between 3-4 inches long and had no obvious sign of why it died.  It was much more colourful than the photograph shows with lovely red spots and red fins.

On the up side I saw a large brown trout swimming upstream and then found a much smaller one under a flat stone whilst I was looking for crayfish.  We have not seen any fish for several months now so it was a surprise.
