Trip West.
We spent 8 weeks going to Arkansas,Texas,New Mexico,Colorado,Utah,Idaho,Montana,wyoming,Yellows tone,back to colorado,and then back to New Mexico buying a license in all of those states and NP.Caught the most fishing the Little Red two days.The biggest fish was on the San Juan in New Mexico.I was consistently catching Browns over 20".I was told about a quality lake in Utah that was suppose to have all big rainbows.We drove around 50 miles over dirt roads and camped on the lake.Not that big and only a few folks there fishing.Once I figured out how to fish quiet water with a TM,every Rainbow I caught was over 20".I only caught 6 or 7,and will say I lost another 6 or 7.Those barbless hooks are killing me sometimes.
We did more sight seeing on this trip and my wife only fished in Arkansas since we were in a boat being guided on the Red.
For the total trip I caught 442.
If you ever get the chance,fish the Taylor River below Taylor dam near Gunnison,Co.Catch and release and big fish.Same for San Juan.Also caught some nice Cut Throats at Yellow Stone.Looking forward to doing again some day.
