New places and fish

[hedgesd]

After a beautiful week of rain and lightning it's back to the grind of life. I scratched several lakes of my list and two new fish, grayling and red side shiner.

Started the trip with a short hike to see the view.

Flowers always distract me from fishing.

Ash though these fish were for her to play with. Wild OCD GSP.

Maybe prettier then a brookie.

Plenty of lakes with nothing but looked promising.

I'm exhausted but think it time to go fishing again.

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing. That dorsal fin is amazing. Good motivation to get out and hook up some grayling. Fishing is fun[fishon]

Grayling are pretty fish!! Always fun to catch somthing a little different. The first grayling I caught in utah was by accident, I did not know they were in the lake I was fishing until I brought the fish in. Looks like a great trip w/ great pics.

These were the first Grayling I've caught. They were good fighters, straight to the bottom and always pulling. It would of been fun with a 3 weight. It was fun but there not big enough to rip some drag or chase every weekend. The 2-3 lb browns I caught in the Fremont river was a nice finish to the trip.
