Weathet really cut into our fishing plans so we spent time driving up new roads to check new locations. Unfortunately the Trail fire had a lot of the upper green river area shut down and those were our targeted grouse and fly fishing spots.

We fished Boulder in a wind snow squall. Froze. Got a few rainbows before we retreated to the truck. Fished Fremont twice. Had fair luck with bows but again no lakers. Fished a few creeks and picked up a few here and there but nothing was hot with the storm racing through the mts.

Chased a bunch of grouse around with my bow and a sling shot. My wife was not impressed with my efforts to put some in the Frying pan. 

Still a great time and put a few new spots on map for future exploration.

Video is parts two - a mix of spots and fun with a rather crazy bit of bow hunting attempts.

Another great video Lance, love that aerial footage from the drone. Next time you should take a pellet gun for those grouse, if you don't want to use gun powder, lol. Love watching your adventures, they remind me of some of my adventures, when I was younger.

I had my shotgun and bird shots for my 22, but, they frown on ya shooting in in a campground. Got to do a little practicing for next year

That's why I was saying try a pellet gun, no loud bang but much more accurate than a sling shot or bow and arrow, unless you very good with them, like you said, they takes a lot of practice.
