Favorite thing to fish for and why

[orvis1]

I prefer getting away from the crowds and hiking into high mountain lakes going after trout. Trout just live in the prettiest places IMHO. I like to catch them on plastics or on the fly whatever they are in the mood for. My favorite trout species in order are:

1. Brook Trout
2. Tiger Trout
3. Rainbow Trout
4. Brown Trout
5. Cuts

The exception to cuts is YNP where the fish are wild and actually put up a great fight. I also like the cuts when they color up to spawn that red color is awesome.

Honestly I am scared to try bass fishing, I know it is addictive and I also know how much gear I would own if I got into it. So for now sticking with the slimers. Although salmon fishing in Alaska last summer was awful fun!
