Went on my first fishing adventure since the Wookie past away. Snowing hard then turned to rain. Fished a small creek near me as I knew I had only a couple hours before honey-do's for Cookie took over my day. The stream was pretty open so I did not have to drill any holes
Wish our local waters would ice up but it is not looking good for a while with weather reports. Anyway, fishing was good for small cutthroats with a little jig tipped with a worm. I had one tied on my line from a while ago so I just grabbed a small packet of extras from my truck and threw them in my pocket for backup. Turn's out that packet had jigs that floated more than sunk and I did not have anything in my pockets to fix that. Oh well I cut off all the fluff and slow floated them through deep pockets. Still worked out. Picked up a bunch of small ones. No size but was not expecting any.

Rabbit hunt planned next week in Wyoming and a hike into the new Wild Life Management area near me as well (up by East Canyon). I am excited to hike into that area. It has been private for as long as I can remember. I was able to trap it for bobcats in my teens but have not been back for a long time, so I am going to wander through my old trapline routes and enjoy some views from my younger years.
Hope you all are having a great year end and maybe finding a bit of ice to drill
cheers
