Seeing Green

I took my annual pilgrimage to the Green River.  This year I was joined by a pair of brothers, Josh and Tyler and Brett and Jake.  I couldn't have asked for better guys to spend a day chasing trout.  I will let the pictures do most of the talking.  The fish are healthy.  We didn't catch anything huge, just a lot of really healthy fish.  The was one that I spotted while stalking that was HUGE but it wouldn't move for anything I threw at it.  Eventually I got tired and tried to wade out and poke it with my rod.  It still didn't move.  So I took off my backpack and went deeper and was able to slide this massive brown out that had probably been dead for at least a few days.  I'm not sure how long it takes a dead fish to start decomposing?  But this is the type of fish that fishermen dream about at night!  Too bad it was caught with my foot and not my fly, and was dead before contact and didn't give me a great fight.  Still very cool to see!  You can't complain about catching dozens of fish in t-shirt weather at the end of November.

Here is the big boy, Brett posed with him for the picture.  The rest of the pictures show it was a great day with A LOT of fish caught!
