Backcountry Fly Fishing

Had a few days off, so I headed into the backcountry to stalk some wild trout. We were at the trailhead at 7 AM for an early start. Once out of society, we rigged up and started to fish the backcountry creeks and streams. Fishing and catching were good. It's great to see and hold these majestic wild trout. The colors were vibrant and pleasing to the eye. Dries and nymphs worked in sizes 18-24. We used a bunch of small midge patterns, mosquitos, ants, gnats, and a few other terrestrials to bring noses to the surface. Snow line was at about 9k feet and the snow run-off provided for some fresh h20 (better than any tap). Lakes were full up and the streams were pumping. Here are some flicks from the trip.
