Members Danielbauman Posted October 28, 2020 Members Posted October 28, 2020 I've been mostly a passive reader of this forum for many years but thought I would share this. I decided to take a gap year from college instead of doing school remotely, and the past two months I headed west to fly fish for native trout. https://cutthroatchronicle.wordpress.com/ This is the link to the blog I kept for the trip. Lots of trip reports, stories and some good photos. Here's a sneak peak of some fish I caught...can you name all these species? Anyways, if you haven't been able to travel or anything recently hopefully this can provide a nice digital getaway. Can't wait to hit all of my favorite Missouri spots now that I'm back home. Cheers. trythisonemv, FishnDave, nomolites and 8 others 11

JestersHK Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Fantastic looking trip there. I'm jealous as well. 3rd pic down looks like a western slope cutthroat! I love the spot patterns on those guys and found a few myself my last trip out west. Beautiful fish and thanks for sharing. Johnsfolly 1
Gavin Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Looks like fun, thanks for sharing your blog. Grayling are hard to come by in the lower 48! JestersHK and Johnsfolly 2
FishnDave Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 My son doesn't prefer the online classes either, but he's doing it anyway. Its definitely a tough situation for students during this pandemic. I'm glad you were able to do what feels right for you, and spend time outdoors while checking some items off your fishing bucket list. Thanks for sharing it. JestersHK 1

They're stocked in a handful of lakes around the west but I actually caught this one in the Big Hole, pretty much the last river in lower 48 they have a viable native population. Very glad to see a few fish still hanging on there. 6 hours ago, snagged in outlet 3 said: Very cool! I wish I could do that?

snagged in outlet 3 Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Oh yeah, college life is sooo tough....🙄 BTW, I say, and said that to all of my kids.😂 . They usually walked away mumbling under their breath. But I had a good idea of what they were saying.😁 JestersHK and Danielbauman 2
