"Chech out west 2018"

Saturday

No pics. Went fishing and caught 4 trout and 2 whitefish. Rained early morning so we went late. Lightning sent us home early. Didn’t take the camera because it rained.

 

We'll let you slide this one time.

   You have been so faithful now you have us hooked.  , we just expect them but please be careful around that lightning. It got pitch black here yesterday but no rain it was amazing. Mrs Dottie is hurting really bad this morning so I'll be going to worship service alone this morning. RTR!

Sunday June 24th:

Absolutely beautiful day today at the lake.  We stayed until 3pm, but couldn't fish that long.  The wind came up at midday.  There were bald eagles chasing an osprey to steal its fish.  White Pelicans paddled around us, hoping for a free fish.  Lots of wading birds (Avocets) were in the shallows.  I listened to coyotes echo across the lake at sunrise.  Sandhill Cranes flew over calling.  Just great.

I caught 12 trout and 1 chub.  All but 2 of the trout were biggies.  Fun, fun.

They're just tiny flies, Preacher.  Most of them are about an inch long.

Monday June 25th:

The wind came up at 11:30 this morning, and it ruined a great day of fishing/catching.  I had caught 9 fish by then. 

Hey, Ricky, you can see how tiny the flies are in these pics.  That's the fly in the tongue of that fish in the first pic.  Here are some of the best ones I caught:

Monday pm and Tuesday am:

I went to the park late Monday.  Saw 2 wolves far out into the Hayden Valley.  A gathering of 15 people watched them too, including 3 young women from Connecticut.  Their father told me, "This was on my bucket list."  I let him view them through my spotting scope.  Saw lots of other goodies too.

Fishing was excellent, but after just 2 hours the winds came.  We were off the lake by 8:30am.  I'd caught 4 trout and a whitefish by then (no pics of them).

Three bull elk that posed for me.


The biggest of them.  His rack is almost completely grown, but still in velvet.

No pics of the wolves (far, far away from us), but this coyote walked alongside my car, then crossed in front of me when I slowed for road repairs.

Those antlers are getting bigger and bigger. Nice pics.

Those antlers are getting bigger and bigger. Nice pics.

That's what happens when the young ladies start fooling around with your viewing scope.

Tuesday pm June 26th:


Went to simply see Old Faithful and get some ice cream.  BUT, 4 bears interrupted the trip: a Cinnamon Bear and its tiny cub (no pics), and a big Grizzly and her 3-year-old cub.  Plus other stuff.
