Chromers!




I awoke this morning hours before dawn to meet Scott Smith and Josh Graffim for a marathon one day trip to do an obscure float on a river in southwestern Wyoming. Our hopes were to bump into some pre-spawn browns in the 4-8 pound range. The weather was very bright and warm, which limited the numbers of browns we saw...however the cutthroat and rainbow fishing was fantastic on streamers! We saw numerous cutthroat in the 14"-17" range and a handfull of rainbows, with three breaking the 21" mark, and one weighing in at 4 pounds. Here are a couple of nice shots of me and Scott with these beautiful rainbows and a picture of where Scott's net spent a good portion of our day. Most of the fish today fell for bright clouser minnows. Hopefully today was a good omen for our trip to the Missouri River next week...we'll see.
