Hey everyone well I got out west for the second week in a row this past weekend. Although the weather was much nicer it was actually harder to find good clean fish-able water this weekend.

I had my daughter with me on the trip and we camped over at a couple different spots. I managed to get a little brown trout action on the dry fly just before dark on the first night. The next day we headed further west where I could introduce my daughter to some pristine waters and a place that is very special to me.

At one spot I let her have a shot with my fly rod and she managed to catch and release her first ever Bull Trout. Before the adventure was over I had a rematch with the bull trout that eluded me last week and well ... all I’ll say is a lot of people have told me that big Bull trout don’t really like dry flies .... I don’t think that is true .... you be the judge.

Here are some moving pictures for you to enjoy.
Cheers!!

Idk who you’ve talked to, bull trout will eat everything and I’ve caught tons of them on dries And hoppers. Also on mouse fly patterns and poppers! Give those a try!

Great Video, cool memories for you both.

I'd agree that Bulls are probably the most willing and easiest trout/char to catch (maybe a tie with stocked rainbows).

Anything well presented dry fly, streamer, spoon, and they will hit it hard. Nevertheless, anytime you catch a fish it's cool.

Keep up the good work dad and get that younger generation involved in the outdoors.
