Spent some time on the spot markings to get the scale pattern right on this one, those black dots on a white body are what make it recognisably a rainbow trout rather than just any fish. The red lateral stripe runs from just behind the gills right to where the tail spreads out. The tail itself is flared open, and theres a little splash at the base to set the jump in motion. Its not a quick stitch but the detail's genuinely worth it.
My husband fishes, he does fly fishing when he's not working. I showed him this design last autumn and he pointed straight at the rod arc and said thats accurate. The line loops from the rod tip up and over the fish and ends at the hook inside the open mouth. It matters to people who fish, theyll notice that kind of care straight away. He wanted one for his fishing vest not long after that.
5 sizes from 3.48 inches wide up to 7.45 wide. Stitch counts from 12,119 up to 27,115, which puts the big size firmly in the dense category. Run a firm cutaway stabiliser on caps and jacket panels before you start, the white fill areas need proper backing to stitch flat. Use the 3.5-inch on a structured cap front and the 7-inch on jacket backs. 2 colors, black and red in the sequence.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
