Trout fishing in America....





Spent the last two days fishing the Clark Fork river downstream from the Cabinet Gorge Dam. Wouldn't exactly say I knocked 'em dead but I did manage a couple of fish. The first day I caught none, but the she-bandit caught a nice brown. We cooked up some mac and cheese over an open fire for lunch and washed it down with a chilly cup of chardonnay. Day two was spent by myself as it was raining like a sumbitch. I caught one rainbow, one cutthroat, and one mackinaw (lake trout). All fish mentioned in this blog were caught on spoons (I gave up on the fly rod after day one!). I will post the pic of the cutthroat and the brown tomorrow as my camera is out in my truck and I'm currently in my 'jammies. For now, here are a couple pics off the web of the specimens we captured. Headin' west here in a few days for a friends wedding and am hoping to throw some flys at rocky ford creek. Stay tuned to see if I catch something.
