Wade trip this morning 7-16

[netboy]

I didn't want to fight the Saturday boat ramp crowds, so I went to an area that has some wadeable water with the higher flows. Started the morning with a tiger tail and caught 3 pretty quick. Then I switched to an olive/brown sculpin imitation bounced off the bottom and had good luck with that. After the sun got up, I switched to a double midge combo (ruby and P&P) under an indicator and had steady action until I left at 11. Ended the morning with a dozen rainbows and 1 decent cutthroat.

Here's a few of the better ones. The biggest rainbow was 21", but pretty skinny.

Nice colors on that cutt.

I was going to make the same comment on the cutt Jeff. So I did! Is that one of the Bonnie's netboy? They seem to be really thriving over there.

That one was a Snake River (aka fine spot) cutthroat.  The Bonnevilles have fewer spots and are lighter in color. Here is a pic of a Bonneville caught at Rim Shoals earlier this year...

Have you caught any of the yellowstone cutthroat trout?

I caught a few small Yellowstones back in 2019 when they first stocked them. They have the larger spots like the Bonnevilles, but are more golden colored.
