Nice job again! I just wonder how much all the fish weigh that you've caught. That would be interesting to know. 

The big ones: 2-3 pounds.  But they pack a punch on a flyrod, jumping and racing around the lake.  Quite fun.


This Brown Trout had hardly any spots; weird!

Today (Tuesday) at Ghost Village (Madison River) I caught this fine Rainbow Trout.  It was along this stretch of river where houses washed away following an earthquake during 1959.  Many of the houses' roofs are still along the river banks.

Here are some pics from the last day at Rocky Mountain National Park and along the roadside during the return trip home.


Sandhill Cranes and babies (near Beartooth Mountains)


Pika; little hamster-like rodents that live above 10,000' elevation (RMNP).


Another Pika.



This Moose is wading the Colorado River.  Yes, the Colorado begins just a few miles from this location, and it's shallow enough to wade.


Bighorn Sheep at 11,500' elevation.  Brrr (33 degrees that morning) in RMNP.


Elk with ragged winter coat (RMNP 11,000').

Folks I've known have gone Elk hunting for years and never seen one. Moose hunting is a chore that can take days to locate, stalk and kill but here you've seen them and some mountain goats... Awesome...
