I wanted to get in a hike to train for a Wind River's Golden Trout trip next month and thought Bell's Canyon would be a good thigh burner for me.

The Lower Resevoir is nice and full as is the creek. I brought along my MSR water filter and enjoyed the ice cold water.

This trip was mainly to get some exercise, but I thought you might enjoy the brook trout I got some footage of.

Thanks for the report and the video. Did you make it to Upper Bell's Canyon Reservoir? If so, was it open, did you fish, and how did you do?

Thanks

Nice scenery. I can't see the fish real clearly in the pic but I think that's a cutt. No white fin tips.

You are right, I forgot it is the Bonneville cuts in there.

Also, I didn't make it to the Upper Res. The last 1/2 mile to the lower falls is enough to kick by butt (knees).

Pretty hike! I am assuming that the creek is still really full with extra water this year, or does it always come down that fast?
