This past weekend, we FINALLY made it out to the mountains to do some fishing. It was a good day; the boy caught 6 trout, including a brookie and some rainbows. I caught 8, including a rainbow/cutthroat hybrid, which sometimes happens in the local streams.

I hope this works...might need to scroll a bit to the right to see the entire photo. It's taken from my favourite spot in the world:



Here is the hybrid referred to above:



He was released after the photo was taken.

We had quite a bad fire out there last fall; if you look carefully, you can see the black areas where the fire burned quickly through the grass:



The speed of the fire spared most of the trees, but as you can see by the pine tree in the center, some were damaged, as well.

The new grass coming up was amazingly beautiful.

Good stuff. I love catching trout on Ultralight gear and Mepps. Looks like you have a great time in a beautiful place.

Sure looks like a place I could enjoy spending some time.

Great job Dad !



Sorry Tas . My screw up on my first post !

Thanks, guys - hopefully we'll be out at the same lake again this coming weekend, complete with campfire, cast iron frying pan etc.
