Let the breeze of a t-storm drift me across an unfamiliar pond on Saturday. After casting a bit, I retired to streaming and nursing a Wood-tip Swisher Sweet in the drizzle, hoping for trout or maybe even an early salmon.
'Twas not to be, but the fight in these little guys was pretty fun with a flyrod, anyway.

Getting out with my Tenkara Rod a bit. Caught and released 18 smallish rainbows yesterday. Going into the Wind Rivers for the first week of September.....interesting to see how Tenkara will work there.

Just got back from a 4day fishing trip on the Green River in Wyoming. Caught prob 60-80 fish over the four days both fly fishing and spinning between hatches. We were able to catch Rainbow, Brook, Brown and both Snake River & Bonneville Fine-Spotted Cutthroat all in one of the days. Such a great trip.
Had to spend two days at City of Rocks on the way back to Cali

The Eastern Sierra - Grand Slam:
Brown
Brook
Lahonton native cutthroat
Golden
All in one day. All wild. We didn't count the rubber rainbows from the hatchery.
Who has done it?
There are actually some wild bows that are nothing to sneeze at, so whatever a slam plus one would be.

BG, Nice Perch. Those are good eating!
Chief, I thought there was one of those creeks that had Paiute that were not hybrids. Still on the bucket list for me

That is definitely not one of those muddy Kirman Lake pigs. Nice fish.
There is that fenced-off pond on the trail up to Kirman. I can't remember what it is called. It is full of Kamloops Rainbows and it is very illegal to fish there. Some kinda brood stock. There is a story there but I'm pleading the fifth.

Yep, that's the one, Ron. I have fished Kirman many times and yes those are some big brookies but after eating a few, it is all catch and release. Those fish taste like mud. They can't be healthy. Obese, if you ask me. That brookie that the Chief has pictured is way more healthy looking and I bet it tastes as good as it looks.

Ron, nice haul from BITD. Rick Roekel, who used to run Ken's Sporting Goods in Bridgeport back in the 90's said he thought the Kirman brookies died young from heart attacks brought on by too much cholesterol from eating all those scuds (freshwater shrimp). Don't know if that's true but they looked like little footballs!
It's really a shame in my opnion that they began stocking cutthroats in Kirman.
Chief, that's a nice brookie shot and great looking fly!

Rick Roekel was a heck of a guy. He told me the same thing about those Kirman brookies. Is he still around? He is the one that turned me onto Green Creek. Shhhh. Don't tell anyone. Rick always had some solid tips on out-of -the-way spots to catch some wild fish. He told me about Lobdell Lake, although I hear it is no longer fish-able. Nice setting and a chance to catch some Graylings.

Nice Rick, Brookies are cool looking fish. I may head up "there" the end of this week. I'll try to leave you a few, hah! Jim
