Definitely making me want to go for a drive. Could be pretty good for Easter, if this weather holds.

Awesome pics, thanks for posting. I have a week booked at the beginning of May at Tunkwa. I hope I catch a few like that.

Beautiful fish, good going. Must feel nice to have your flyrod in your hand again. Looking forward to it here too. What flies did they like this early in the year. I usually have good luck with small leech patterns in the spring.

These pics make me miss living there, was there for a short 6 years. Ice is always off early and there are endless lakes to fish for these beauty rainbows and mule deer hunting is pretty good too.

Nice fish! - side question - is that the net from Bass Pro shop? Do you like the bigger holes in the mesh?

it is from bass pro, like $20 I think. smaller fish (10") can slip through the holes, and the netting also broke on my after a year or so so bigger fish get out now too if I'm not careful haha

yeah that's morgan. Some friends went to 6 mile and got some but it's sort of hit or miss I think. Honestly never fished it. Patiently waiting for Red to ice off haha
