Layne struck "gold" using a spinning rod with 4# test and a jig that he tied himself. The two cutthroats were 19" and 20". After a few quick pictures both were quickly released back into the stream for another angler to enjoy. Even saw three moose on our hike back to the car to add to what was already a fun adventure. Grateful for the afternoon to make a few memories in a beautiful place... "Kids don't remember their best day of television."

Gold color Trout Magnets with a pink or while grub and a clear casting bubble half filled with water for casting weight work great in those small clear waters.
