Today was my day off, so again I headed with the canoe up river to fish for rainbow and cutthroat trout. The current was hard to deal with, so after a good two hours of struggling to keep the boat steady, I nearly gave up. On one of my last casts, I hit a 14 inch Cutthroat. This of course lifted my spirits, and I stayed out longer only to hook a 20+ inch Rainbow, and lose it near the boat. She hit my lure just as I was bringing it in, and it was beautiful to watch her come out of nowhere and strike and run. She was the "big one that got away" as they say, though. However, I came home very happy and prepared my trout for dinner. Life is beautiful out here. And my pictures and stories could never do this place justice. It takes your breath away, everyday.
