Rio Grande Cut throat from the San Pedro wilderness NM. Caught on a spinner with a collapsible rod given to me by my daughter.
My brother and I took a week long fishing trip to Colorado back in 09. We fished Deckers Creek, Cheeseman Canyon, and a private section of the south branch of the South Platte river (pictured). I used a 9ft. 5wt rod and I believe the cutbow was caught on an egg pattern and the brown on a caddis pupa or a stone fly.
edit: rod/tackle
Little day trip up in northwestern NJ hiking and fishing Ken Lockwood Gorge. Caught on a parachute Adams with the Tenkara rod.. Sorry bout the upside down pic. It was the only one that showed the fly best..I got up to the Mt. Evan Wilderness area here in Colorado to fish a lake around 12k this weekend. The lake had already iced off. I fished a streamer with a dropper and caught fish on both.
It Snowed most of the day.
Cutthroat.
I release 99% of the fish I catch, but on this day I introduced a buddy to Rocky Mountain High trout sushi.
I hiked in at night to find a high mountain lake mostly covered with ice, and unfishable. After a warm night the lake opened up. By mid day I hit the upper lake to find it opening up. During ice off the biggest fish in the lake will show themselves. I caught a few fish on a Parachute Adams & Copper John, but the fish of the day was caught by my buddy Jon. Again this lake was around 12k.
It was small, but DELICIOUS. High country fish are the best. Caught on the lower monarch lake out of mineral king in sequioa national park. This was probably the one of the biggest fish in the lake actually. This upper lake probably had bigger fish but had sketchy ice all around it.
About a 10-12" cutthroat caught on a TFO 4wt and #14 elk hair caddis.. Fun little fight and an even better looking fish
Mountain stream fishing.. theres nothing like it
Here are Drake (12) and Phoebe (7) with the sockeye salmon they caught in the surf in the salt water of Cook Inlet at the mouth of the Kenai River (north side). 10 fish, 80 pounds total, 90 minutes of effort. Drake got two fish and then went back to reading his book. Phoebe really liked the bounancy of being in waders in the salt water and bounced up and down the whole time.
