So this year... I have been going on a Cuttie spree!! I just cannot get enough of these lil guys, they fight hard and put so much heart into their fights!!

This would be my biggest of the season so far, Yes it was a bleader... but he was not bleading heavily and swam off like nothing even happened to him. This fish was caught on the Hayden to Armitage stretch, It was my first time ever floating/fishing it. The water was high and fast... but me and my buddy bill managed a handful of these guys. Morning bite:

After that trip i just had to get a little more action in on these beautiful creatures. So i set off to what i call... My (backyard) hole. I would call it a secret. This lil dude was on fire! A nice healthy lookin cuttie, that put up one hell of a fight! Afternoon bite:

Now i am not sure when i got this one... but all these fish were caught in a 4 week period of time. I just took pictures of the best fighters and prettiest little guys. Each fishing outing i caught 5-15 cutties. I will name the hole that i got this one out of the (hospital hole). Morning bite:

And now... I will take you guys/gals back to my "backyard" hole. This hole never lets me down. It is definetly a "high-water" hole. This one... was another great fighter, made 1 jump and he just couldn't stop after that, i lost count of all his jumps. Actually i lied... this would be a willy cut. Morning bite:

To the "backyard" hole. I know there is bigger lunkers in there for me. So far i fish it hard 1 week, and let it sit for 2 weeks, go back the 3rd and the fish get bigger every trip there. Point is... (don't out fish your trout holes) Give them a break once in a while. Afternoon bite:

---All my fish were caught and let go UNHARMED, with an occasional bleader... but i Rarely have bleaders anymore cuz i pinched all my barbs for these guys.----

I only c&r for trout, even if it's a stocker. I did pic up a couple nate bows here and there, but only snapped a pic of 1 and that is to come later on tonight!

And so now... the last pic on this thread until later tonight where i will bring more fish pics! The last time our state got blanketed with wet heavy snow... me and 2 friends decided it would be fun to hike Spencers butte in the snow (never done it before) So we did it, there was 2 feet of snow at the top. It was one of my best choices i have ever made!

Here is a nate bow that i got off the willy on opening weekend, no bait was fished, just spoons along undercut banks. These two... came as a pair. Same one as above...

And 1 last one... This one was from the winter ofcourse. I went out for winter steelheading 4 times and got the skunking cuz i was underated most likely. Each trip i managed to bank one of these guys tho. This would be my 1rst sea run ever.

Looks like you got trout fishing figured out pretty well!

The pics don't open when I click on them, not sure if you wanted to keep them small or not.

Good work,
