The handsome trout lying atop the basket was caught by Gus Cochrane (grandfather of four, father of two and son of the late A.M.). Gus makes the point that his wife, Michelle (nee Scott), rather than go through married life as a trouting widow, joined in and has since become her husband’s “best trouting buddy.” — Submitted photo
