The white beard didn't already give it away. i was young just last week.

You are so kind

Thanks

@@nicholskk well come sir

Thanks Bob. It was good to be in the water; even above 9000 feet it was otherwise too warm to be in sun.

This is yet another favorite place. Going Sunday through Friday helped.

The fish pick them. Thanks for watching!

I'll watch them all again next winter

Pizza was embarrassing (frozen -- and I can laugh at myself for being lazy); I more often bring flour and yeast plus toppings.

If it helps, my family has an 11,000 acre ranch + double that in FS allotments (and fished) in the Uintas. Yes, we have been here for 9 generations, since the 1840s. You don't know solitude. You don't know having your foreman shot and killed during the livestock-wars era of Tom Horn. You don't know the Uintas before the automobile - I only know from being told first hand by family who did. Welcome newbie.

@@nicholskk I know having my families homestead being taken away by the Carter family... shoot my grandmother was born in the fort. We got there about the same time by the looks of it.

Flash floods crossed the road in several places leaving larger, loose boulders.

Thank the fish too, ...every time

It's a holy search

My son and I fished when he was young. Then we kayaked and climbed mountains together, but has now thoroughly surpassed me on those such that I fish alone - and catch more fish and de-tangle less line. lol

I'll place a setting for you.

You'll just need to place longer casts.

Glad that you enjoy cycling and historical (pre-historical) parks. i first visited the park before the buildings were completed. I think the visitor center was a trailer. Sorry your fishing didn't happen in the high water.

Again, my pleasure Steve.

The fishing was exceptional this year; I hit it just right with the migratory trout. Thanks for watching Bob.

I enjoy your ideo post. Do you ever accept phone calls to discuss your experiences?

thanks, but no

i just did a web search for you and did not find one.

lol

I had the most attention on a streamer that I named a Crystal Rainbow (white crystal chinle trailing a rainbow tinsel and dark olive maraboo tail), then a scud I named Rootbeer-leFemme (pink wrap with rootbeer or gold tinsel wrap at the waist), an attactor nymph I call the Christmas Caddis (green with red highlight at the tail), and the not original tie, the pink squirmy worm. All are heavily weighted with a large beadhead and the shank wrapped 6-7x in .025 leadless wire. Never saw a fish rise and only a very few mayflies in the air. The fish were deep under the banks along the edges of the raging current. Finding those few slower edges was more important than the flies (though the heavy weight was critical to get down deep quickly with very short calm-ish eddies)

Thanks for watching

i find on those, that you can turn off the sound and run the tap in the sink, you get a better video. (I don't really waste the water, but I do turn down the volume - to each their own.)

thanks Steve, glad you liked it

I ate humble pie for three days to find those beautiful, few fish.

Your eyes are good, mostly Browns, a few Cutts, occasional Brook

Good to hear from you. Yes, improving, although the snowmelt runoff is still carrying a lot of fire ash-silt.

@@nicholskk How far up did you hike up from the campground?

Around two miles is all.

Steve, Glad you enjoyed and I hope that you are getting out.

All that you need is practice and practice all the fun.

Interesting that you chose it too. HARD, that was the word I chose before heading out when my wife asked how I thought the trip would go. Hard, but not too hard; as it went, there were a few findable fish. As to the wind, double weighted flies and slamming the line were all that were possible at times. thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. On the end of the line is a double weighted (mostly pink) nymph, 2 feet up from the tip and on a side line were two different double weighted streamers (used one at a time). The black and purple streamer (used first) worked best dead drifted similarly to the nymph. The crystal white with rainbow tinsel, only worked being jerked up and across stream. Not classic nymphing, not classic streamer fishing, but versatile and always interesting.

Yes you do

Thanks 👍 I had a mink flirt with me on two days but failed to get any images worth adding.

Thanks! You too! Nice to put a face to your name, and of course you know Bert too!

Always good to hear from you Bob. i hope that spring is headed your way too.

Perhaps it looks familiar because I have posted snowstorms there before ?

As a curiosity: Although the walls look to be sandstone, they are rhyolite lava and ash flows. Following the video-break, the rock is basalt.

Enjoy the hunt, then someday it may become familiar.

@@nicholskk No hunt left in this 75yr old. Thanks for the advice.
