"Chech fishing pics" (aka "Trying to avoid Tarding Up the Other Threads")

  The net also doesn't snag your hook, like the cotton nets do.  As Jamos said, other benefits too.

Travel day today, so fish pics will follow later.  I caught ~20 Rainbow and Brown Trout (all small) in Yellowstone this morning.  Here are some travel pics:


Magpies eating a roadkill rabbit.


View along the Frying Pan River.

Love the pics Chech, glad things have been working out so well for you.

Typical Yellowstone NP Brown Trout (small, and upstaged by the scenery).  I caught ~25 of these, plus a few small Rainbows on Wednesday.

Chech, if you can, take some more pics of the scenery there.

Okay.  I'm using a GoPro, so the scenery can be kinda odd (wide-angle lens).  Maybe I'll try the Canon Camera instead.
 

Here's one from last year, taken at the same pacle where I fished yesterday.  Danged bison tangled my line!!  That was with the GoPro.  Bison in the image are closer than they appear (casting distance).

Man Chechem the one of the buffaloes is beautiful as all of them are of course. What was it like watching those things in person? I can't remember I have ever seen a real buffalo in the wild. RTR!

Chech, that wasn't you taking the video, was it? 

[Chechem]

It's really cool, Preacher.  Wish you could all see it in person.

Not me, 2.

Today's pics:

Caught ~30 trout, mostly small.  But got a few biggies too.  And I included some scenes for 2.


This white wildflower I named "Aub Coed" (plain, but pretty, and living in bison crap).


Caught this big Brown Trout right after a rain shower.


Nice fish and nice scenery.

Rainbow Trout.  A guy named Bill and I were fishing the same stretch of the Firehole River yesterday when I caught this one.  He wasn't catching anything, so we chatted.  He is new to flyfishing, so I gave him a yellow PMD (dry fly; see fish's snout) to try; he started catching.  We talked.  He is an A&M graduate (early 1960s), and grew up in San Antonio.  We talked football and SEC sports, and stayed on that stretch of river for 4 hours, catching a couple of dozen trout each.

Very nice fish and scenery! I worked. No pics.

I am so glad your Blessed enough to have the chance to fish and see the things you do Chechem. Is the wife or family with you on this trip? Be safe and enjoy because if we keep going as a nation in our direction fishing and hunting won't be a freedom much longer. RTR!

Don't totally buy into the hype Preacher. Hunters comprise the largest "army" in the world and the comparison isn't even close.  There is no way that the dumbocrats will ever be able to disarm the American civilians.  Most of those hunters are also fishermen/women too.  We will be able to enjoy the "rights" of hunting and fishing in this country (as long as it remains a country) for longer than any of us or our kids and grandkids will be alive... Yes, we will have some restrictions placed upon us but we will always have those rights...

Boy, you guys trying to ruin my freedom or what (e.g., Where's the wife?  Politics...)??

NO, NO WIFE.  NO, NO POLITICS!!  THIS IS FISHING!!
