Wyoming Does Not Disapoint

 Took off to Wyoming late Thursday afternoon. We were going to go try for Rainbows but at the last minute we went to one of our Cutthroat haunts.

 We got to camp around 9:30 and realized we didn't have a lighter or matches to cook our BBQ. So we messed with the cigarette lighter in Dalt's truck to try and spark some flame. We finally got it and threw these sweet kabobs on.

 Morning time.

 Dogs were stoked to be out.

 Dalt gearing up.

Once we reached the river it was very off color and our hearts sank. Ideas were thrown out like "it's early.... Maybe we should go to another river....."

 So I decided to give it one shot to see if the river would fish. Second cast we were in business with this healthy Cutty. 

 So the precedent was set and the fish were active. 

 I got into this one early on and it was a good size fish forsure.

 He was wiggling at picture time but you can see the girth.

 Bright sunny day without a cloud in the sky and there was no service for the black berries. made for a quiet day and we could really concentrate on slaying.

 Caught a couple really good ones in here.

Enjoy a few shots...

 YEAH!!!

 Fish of the day for me.

I know I have said it already but this year could be really, really good!

Thanks,

Low Water On The Weber

 Caught a few good ones on the Weber today.

 He had some chin balls.

 The water was very low and several of our favorite runs were dead. The fish seemed to be deep or in good cover. The shot above of Dalton shows how low it was. Still caught some but we were working hard...

New reel. This is the best shape it will ever be in so I thought I would take a shot.

This blog is a great way for me to document my days on the water with my buddies. Hopefully you find its somewhat entertaining/useful. When the outings are epic you will see more pictures and longer stories. Today though was fairly simple and straight forward. Beautiful weather, lots of walking and a few memorable fish.

Lots of Caddis, Spinners and May flies flying around. Dalt pick up a few sticks and found PMD's, worms, Sows and Stones....

Another thing worth noting was the fish count. Probably 12-13 Browns to only 2 Whitties. 

Thanks,

Add Tiger's To The List

 Caught this little Tiger Trout under a cut bank.

 It surprised me when I got him in.

 I wonder how they got into this creek? I know these don't occur naturally so maybe they were stocked at one point some where in the drainage? I am glad they are in here though and I hope to catch a few more.

I caught 6 Browns, one Tiger, two June Suckers and this pretty Rainbow.

It's interesting that I have now caught Browns, Cutty's, Rainbows, Tigers and June Suckers. that's a diverse creek. Browns dominate though.

A caddis hatch was in full swing and I saw my first hopper of the year! With bugs out and good flows this could be one for the ages...
