Henry's Fork 11-02-2012

I can't believe it's going on five months since I blogged last.

Sam and I made a run to the Henry's Fork last November in hopes of catching some big pre-spawn Browns on streamers. We caught a fair number of trout, mostly Rainbows, but no huge Browns. We arrived to a nice crisp fall morning.

 

Sam didn't waste any time getting down to the water.

 

After the shadows retreated off the water, it started warming up. 

 

First Brown of the day. 

 

And a health little Rainbow.

 

These are some of the big streamers we started out casting, latter in the day we scaled down to about 1/3 the size and seamed to do a little better, but these do have there place when the big fish arrive.

 

Note to self, bend down the barb on this one.

 

 

In the afternoon we moved down below the bridge and did  pretty well, catch some nice Browns and Bows, but still no monsters.

 

Chesterfield 10-20-2012

Rick and I went to Chesterfield a week after I had fished it. We fought the wind most of the day, but was able to hook into a few nice ones.

 

 

After a little break we decided to wade out, and cast, this technique actually worked very well. 

 

 

 

 

Chesterfield 10-13-2012

I made a run up to Chesterfield for the first time since I fished it last spring, and it did not disipoint me, as you will see in the pictures below. I went by myself. The pictures were taken using the the timer on the camera that was mounted to the frame of the boat.

This is looking west, but the sunrise colored the sky from east to west.

 

 

What this fish lacked in length, it made up for in girth.

Soldier Creek Re. 09-29-2012

Rick and I Fishing Soldier Creek Reservoir, it was a lovely fall day.

 

Rick started catching Rainbow right away. 

We caught mostly Rainbows, with a few Cutthroats mixed in. 

 

Best fish of the day, this Rainbow Rick caught.

This was my new trucks first fishing trip.
