Son's first trout on a dry fly

My son (8) caught his first trout on a dry fly today, now he's hooked. It's all he's talked about. Couldn't get the trout to hit on any nymph patterns, so I tied on a #10 Joe's Hopper and had him kind of twitch it across the water. On his third cast this big Brook crushed the fly. He was one scarred up fish, mush have fought a lot when spawning.

Nice trout! Congratz to the both of you. Let's hope there are many more in his future!!

The tail & fins have scars that appear to be from concrete raceways at the hatchery.
