Mountain Cutthroat

Some of you may remember my thread from last year but here are some fish from this year. Got back from a couple days of hiking and figured I should post up a few pictures! Don't know where the background went on the one picture, haha.

Nice fish!

Yessir, actually two notellum lakes.    Not that I expect many people to hike in there but I don't want to risk it.

Gorgeous fish! I hope they are far off the beaten path.

Yah, it was about a 15 mile round trip through some pretty rough country. Ran into a couple really nice guys in there, it'd be cool if they were on here!  If by some chance you are and see this Pm me, I'd like to know how the rest of your trip went.

Packed into a lake this weekend I haven’t been to this year, it sure didn’t disappoint! Caught about 20-25 all this size, they sure put up a good fight.

Do you use a float tube or just fish from the bank?  All on the fly?

Fantastic fish!

Most lakes I go with a float tube but waders or wet wading for this lake get me far enough from the bank. This trip I packed waders but never put them on, it’s a long ways to take a float tube. And yep all on flies. There was a huge mayfly hatch so I only caught one on a dry because there were so many other bugs to eat, most of them that I caught were on a size 8 pats stone.

The photo with the green water is cool in that you can see how thick the hatch is. Looked like some good sized mayflies.
Beautiful looking fish!
