Back to the high country again this weekend. Ice was now off the lake and a lot of the snow had melted too. Rainbows were staging up anywhere with moving water. Tigers were there too. Also picked up a couple of brookies. Fish were much more active than last weekend. Numbers were pretty fantastic.
Went to a tripod with the binos 10 years ago for extended glassing sessions. Game changer. I'm a bit of a gram weannie, but a tripod is worth every bit of added weight, in my experience. Makes glassing more effective, less tiring, and just better. More time behind the glass equals more game...
Hit the high country this weekend and things were still 85%+ iced up, but the edges were open. Took some work on the technique, as the fish were deeper and not cruising the edges. Slow presentation was the ticket to a bunch of rainbows and tiger trout. It's just going to keep getting better.
Looking forward to some high mountain fishing in the coming weeks. Did get out Friday to a place known for good cutts and rainbows. Was pretty slow but decent quality.
Good for you. I wasn't complaining; it is what I was expecting. I am not too concerned about hunting Utah every year. There is a place I want to hunt, so I put in for that tag. I'll be hunting two other states this fall, so that's probably why I am not too concerned about it as well.
Good luck.
No luck for me, which is pretty much what I figured, based on the odds. Next year is looking better for a mediocre archery tag in a place I like to backpack and fish, but I'll also get to take my bow along for the ride.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family, especially as you get through the potentially hectic and difficult next several days.
I join with others in expressing admiration for your commitment, caring, and devotion as a husband. The fact that you don't see your efforts as...
Looks like @elkrchr has it covered, but if you need it, I've got 11 points and would love to help out. Just let me know.
Love this community for things like this.
Turkey showed up in my neighborhood this week. That's a first. Then, last night, it roosted in my backyard. Season is a few weeks away. It's like these birds are surveiling me, messing with my mind for doing the same to them. Well played, turkeys, well played...
