This week the weather is unsettled and we have been starting to get rain showers and thunder showers as of late last Friday. So for this Father's Day we decided to take a short fishing trip.
Turns out this new spot is hot! That is Steve with the bigger of the two Hybrid Trout that we caught on Father's Day. Part Rainbow, part Cutthroat Trout.
It turned out this nice spot was 1.4 miles from our camp. Our friend
Steve Z. told us about the two trees down in the Snake River. We found the
pull off and also found a few nice paths down to access the river. This
is NFS land.
Gari hops out to check out the site. You can see the sky is unsettled.
Right away Gari spots some wild Poppies.
Poppies, Poppies...
Gari checks out what looks like a path down to the river
Sure enough the path leads to a nice spot on the river and Steve wastes no time in hanging the first Cutbow hybrid. He has a night-crawler on a trout rig.
If you can see any trace of a white line on the leading edge of the Pectoral, Ventral or Anal fins it is a Hybrid or a Rainbow. The Cutthroats have no white line and are not permitted to be kept. We can clearly see white on the Ventral fin.
Gari found a spot just above the two fallen trees like Steve Z. said there would be.
Gari upgraded her spot to down stream of the two fallen trees. There is a nice little back eddy under the overhanging trees. Maybe there is a nice Brown Trout in there...
That's what we brought home for supper. We stopped after about 45 minutes. The plan is to smoke these two specimens one day later this week.
