Back from Yellowstone

Been back from our annual fly fishing adventure for two weeks now. I’m still going through photos (and a tiny bit of video), and I’m working on a trip write-up. I haven’t posted anything on the site lately, so it might seem that I haven’t been doing any fishing. That’s, thankfully, far from the truth. In addition to our Yellowstone trip, I’ve been doing a lot of local fishing. Just haven’t felt like writing much. I guess I’m not happy with just writing a play-by-play account of fishing trips any longer, so you probably won’t see many of those. I’d like to write more well-thought essays. That’s what I’m trying to do for the Yellowstone trip. The problem is, deep thought is difficult for me and often ends with a headache :) Anyway, couldn’t resist posting this photo of my big fish for the trip. Bragging? I suppose so…

That's me with a 21 inch cutthroat caught from the Yellowstone River.

Take care,
Nathan

  • Nice Fish!
    Hey, can you recommend a net? Because I lacked a net, I failed to help my 9 year old land a 20 inch rainbow… his first, in CO last month. Flipped out of my hand, hooked me in the thumb,… good stuff.

  • Andy,
    Wow, tough luck for your son (and your thumb). I didn’t have a net for this fish either, so I got lucky. We flew out this time, and I didn’t have room to pack one.

    I really like Brodin nets. They have some new ones with “ghost netting” or something like that. They look very nice, and appear as if they’d be very easy on the fish. I’ve got an older one with cherry wood that I really like.
