I would have shot the fish if they would have quit moving around

I am jealous of that trip at a level I did not know I was capable of.

Wow!

Do you flyfish of spin for those trout? Are the trout a type of Cutthroat?

I do whats called dry fly. It is a spin cast reel but has a bubble 12-18 inches above the fly. The pole collapses down littl which is handy for backpacking.

The larger ones are green back cutthroat and the smaller ones are brookies:thumbup:

Thanks for the picts!!

I want to start backpacking. I have most of the stuff needed. This past spring I messed my knee up and that pretty much set me back a year. My goal is to combine backpacking and coyote and deer hunting. I live in PA so I am looking at the PA state forests.

Thanks for the inpsiration. Someday I do want to go to Mt Sneffels area of CO.

Great pics man. I did a 10 day in Maine on the AT last fall. I'd never say this outside of this forum for fear of sounding crunchy, but it was the most spiritual event of my life. You made nostalgic.
