Haven't fished much this summer.. A salmon trip to Idaho, and a bit of creek fishing in the Bighorns..

This morning I decided it was time for a supper of fresh brookies. So I grabbed my old Fenwick, the dogs, and headed to the hills. The creek I wanted to try was clear, but still pretty high, and made wading difficult.. So I tried a new area..

A side channel came down though the brush, and it looked like it would have some brookies in it.. I decided to give it a try.. LUCK WAS WITH ME.. Hiked down about a quarter mile and fished back up.. Got into a part of the stream I had never fished.. Apparently it hasn't been fished much this year.. In a couple hours I had enough for supper for the wife and I..

My goldens were quite unimpressed.. They voted for gopher and prairie dog shooting tomorrow.. But they are not as good in the pan as brookies.. My favorite fish, after bluegills...
