Remote fly fishing

Got to spend a few days exploring some of the boat access only areas, and with the higher water from the snow melt things went well! Mananaged some beautifully fish on the fly rods with a great gentleman named Ian from the UK. He managed to catch 5 different species of fish including, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, dolly varden, mountain whitefish, and bull trout! Enjoy a couple of pics from the last few days!

My "Fish Finder"

 Headed out on Sunday to put a couple more hours on the new Yamaha, pretty much broken in now and ready for the upcoming season! Decided to poke around for some cutthroat. I had my "fish finder" aka Sage Skaaning along. While Sage is very keen on the fly fishing, at the end of the day its all about "catching" so armed with his ultralight spinning rod he showed just how many fish I was missing in each run with my fly rod!LOL! The highlight of the day was a beautiful 2 1/2 pound dolly varden that followed his spoon all the way in and smashed at the last second! Unfortunately the slippery bugger slid back in unharmed as dad was fumbling with his new camera. Spoon of choice was an all silver Hildebrant, and for flies, the old muddler minnow got its share of takes!
Enjoy

Bull trout pics

Thought I better post some more Bully pics after that last post!
