Well today started out on the confusing note, I had woke up eagerly awaiting a phone call from my fishing buddy of the day, and it didn't happen.. so I was like... WTF???? Than I checked AO to find a quick SOS message that he was called into work. I contimplated the day, while the GF tried to convince me to be home by 1... all I told her was MAAAAYBE :sHa_sarcasticlol:
Arrived at destination around 9:45 am and immediately realised I left my new fly box at home.. Damn hey? Stuck with my other box, with little to nothing in it, I tied up and hoped for the best. First stream I hit, I may as well have hit my head, because thats all I found there.
Made my way to the next one and managed 3 small brookies which were possibly 6" at best. Got a little bored and started checking out every body of water in which I could find, and found myself in cutthroat haven. Managed 7 cutties on the day, not going to post all, but will put a couple up. None were of size, largest 15".
Following many roadside stops, I was making my way home, when I noticed a pool tooooo sweet to drive past. I hit the brakes, pumped the gas and flipped the truck around and grabbed the spinning setup! First cast into the crystal clear water, and BANG! This was by far the largest fish I have ever hooked. Had her on for about 45 seconds, and than the damn thing spit on me. Not sure what it was, but i saw it a few times near the surface, looked like possibly a bull or a very large brown maybe?
Anyways, Here are some photos of the day... May I mention that at one pass I was near, I measured half way up to my knee of fresh snow.. Winter is coming and the fish are pooling up! Found pools with 15-20 cutts and 10-20 brookies, although the brooks were far more picky!
Oh, DID I MENTION... I GOT MY FIRST BULLLL!!!!!!!! :sHa_shakeshout:
Enjoy!
