Chech out west (pics of the latest fishing adventure)

Nice one. 

Yeah, 22" and a custom paint-job!

Man that some nice catches. I know your having fun with your Fly Rod. Hey Chechem, I noticed you said 26 degrees? Do you ever encounter any water snakes of any kind on your trips? RTR!

I've seen several garter snakes along the shore.  They eat little fishies!

You know that is quite funny because I never figured a Garter Snake for eating fish. Do you ever see any signs of muscles or crawfish or anything like that along the shore? RTR!

I've seen mussels along the rivers; otters eat them.  But no crawfish.  They're probably here; just haven't looked for them under rocks, etc.

Friday's fishing was better than Thursday.  Lots of biggies.  And while catching them, a boat approached.  It was a minister (Jim) and his wife (Diane).  They hadn't caught anything, and asked what "bait" I was using.  So I gave them a lesson in 'nymphing'.  Off they went!




The midge nymph is still in his mouth.








Big brown trout.


Leaping in head-first after a flip.

Man, you caught some nice ones, Chech! Now you've got me wondering if the preacher and his wife went off nymphing.

It's not a big place.  I'll likely see them today.
BTW, when asked about his line of work, he said: "I'm a minister and provide comforting and blessings."
So after giving the lesson I asked, "Don't I get a blessing or something?"
He said, "Follow life's roads."
I think maybe he got the better deal!!

Sounds like you got Carl Spackler's deal from the Dalai Lama.

Or maybe, he stole it from a fortune cookie.

Indeed, the preacher and his wife showed up about 9AM, slowed their motor, and came over to chat.  I invited them to fish nearby.  Jim hooked 2, and Diane one.  They were thrilled, despite 2 of the fish breaking the lines.

We had fun chatting, but I didn't get any more free advice.

Change of Pace:

I spent a couple of hours in the park (YNP) this afternoon.  Watched fires burn the park (they're right next to the Madison River now) and chatting with a bull Bison.

"This is Chech for CRS, on the road in Yellowstone."









Look at that terrain.  How could you send smokejumpers into that??  






"Um, excuse me.  I'm driving on this road!"

E-cred for the spectacular pics! 

I had no idea the fires were that close.

Saturday at Lake Hebgen:

Despite being too windy to fish yesterday afternoon, the trout were snapping all morning.  Lots of biggies.

AND the preacher (Jim) and his wife (Diane) returned to fish alongside me.  Both actually caught a fish!!  Nice to see them finally catch something.


It began as a cool, foggy morning.


Soon a rainbow appeared!


A real biggie. 




Another biggie (yes, that's the happy couple in the background)


Again!


A medium-sized brown trout (and the couple is closer in the background)

Love the pics, some nice trout you have caught.
