Catch of the day [Fishing]

@Mizmazzle fascinating stuff really. So glad we went out there today.

My homie Matt and I just got back from our annual trip to Wyoming to fish for Golden trout. We backpacked in and hiked 30 miles from start to finish. We were in the backcountry for five nights and didn’t see another human soul for days!! Absolutely magical. It was the type of experience that carries me through the challenging parts of work life during the school year. Check it out!!
Last year I caught the biggest fish. This year that honor went to Matt.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

That‘s so awesome @Mizmazzle Did you have to take precautions against bears? Did you eat the trouts?

@Mizmazzle that looks stunning! Also good to be reminded of the proper name for the golden trout. Somehow your quest for this fish came up in conversation a while back and the best I could do was fish that live at the top of mountains / sky trout

@Mizmazzle Amazing scenery and beautiful trouts!
I was fishing perch and northern pike earlier this week. Good times. Maybe trying grayling tomorrow.

@Mizmazzle beautiful!

@endo Yes the Wind River Mountain Range is both Grizzly and black bear habitat. We carried both bear spray and a pistol as a precaution. We are meticulous with keeping a clean camp and hanging our food bag far from where our tents are placed.
Primarily we are catch and release fisherman. Every now and then we like to take a non-trophy fish to eat if there is a large population in a body of water.
Neither of us had ever eaten a Golden Trout before so this time we did eat one. It was fantastic!

@Mizmazzle northern Finland. Above arctic circle. Relatively flat lands. Plenty of forests and swamps and lakes

Pretty much have just been a lurker on the forums since I joined, but this convo is speaking my language. I'm up in Montana, here are a few pics from fishing around here this summer plus a bonus Tarpon pic from the Keys in May.
