After 15 years having earned my keep as his hunting partner, my pard invites me to the fishing hole.
Says bring your packable fly rod, protective clothing & eyewear, leather gloves, shotgun & a lunch.
1/4 mile thru Devils club, down a bluff to the river in bear central.
Hungry bows, & big. Never seen rainbow fishing like that. Later the Wood River chain of lakes has some big bows but not as hungry. And you have to fly to get there.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
We were more than a little surprised. Barely fit through the ice hole.
One of life’s pleasant surprises! Got any specs ?

Have a couple of lakes near by that are part of a river system drainage that offer a few nice ones. However, at 66, and the fact it's a 4 mile hike @ 25 to 30 below looses a little bit of flavor. Spring is coming though.
Always enjoy your pictures and video's, Troy. Vicarious enjoyment satisfies for present. Now if we could get Randy to post some pics also...

I think Talarik Creek on the north shore of Iliamna or the top of the Naknek River might produce bigger Bows than the Wood River lakes might. There are more Rainbows in those rivers connecting the Wood River lakes but not really huge fish, plenty of dandys though.
Montana makes some nice sized Bows that can get aggressive in the winter months.
What a fat ole hen ! 👍🏻
