Great post BH. Like seeing the snake river cutthroat photos. Looking forward to seeing some photos of subspecies three, colorado river cutthroat. You caught them, now just need to see photos. Have to see if I can find someone that can sell me some hoppers that cutthroat can't help but bite.

Lol. Bob has special meaning to me because in High School we borrowed the statue from in front of the restaurant and relocated it to the sidewalk of our rival. 

Seems a bit extreme. We usually just burned our name onto their football field.

Not if you don't get caught.   That was a long time ago. I wouldn't recommend anyone trying that today. Stupid then, stupid now.

   You both are good for confessing your transgressions. Now atone for your sins.

OK -- I just did 100 pushups and said 50 Mail Mary's.

   The Colorado River Cutt,

Well of course up early again but took our time getting ready. Pretty cool out there I thought. The thermometer bouncing around the thirty degree mark. The thermometer probe in the propane tank compartment. Kind of out of the elements so not sure about the real reading. A great breakfast of pancakes and eggs. Lots of hot coffee too. Rods all ready built from the evening before I took them to the front of the truck and placed em on the hood of the truck and let go. Swoosh they slid off the ice on the hood,

   Waders on this morning and the sweatshirt felt nice. Again in no hurry. We are morning people and love the sunrise but for these trout the later in the day the better. Warm temps get the bugs going. Wish they were on my time line though .  South Cottonwood is a pretty creek,

  Yep that is snow up there and it isn't very far away,

 There are long straight shallow runs, cut banks with over hanging willows twists and turns. Elements to satisfy all fly fishers. We caught what we wanted to catch. I think the Colorado River cutt would be my favorite color wise. Wish the Mrs. camera didn't have the water spot on the lens. Again we found lower flows and smaller fish than in years past,

   The plan was executed and with the success we cranked down the camper and headed to the next quarry,

I cry bravo sierra on that one

now wonder everybody uses dry flys. It's too shallow to fish a nymph under an indicator

I'm not sure I'd be able to quit looking at the scenery long enough to fish.
