Rocky Mountain Bonefish ...
... aka mountain whitefish, from the Bitterroot River yesterday.
I knew he was healthy and energetic when I caught him, but it wasn't until I saw his pixels that I realized what a striking example of our local bonefish he is. Something to angle for.

P.S. REEd'm and weep.
The fish are always right.
Nice cheeker; I like to think of them as stripped-down grayling.

That's a nice lookin' feesh!
John - that a real nice photo. Thanks for sharing. I went to my favorite whitefish haunt a couple of days ago and despite switching flies and moving around I only managed 2 whites about the size you are holding. But all was not lost - those pesky rainbows were kinda hungry and I did get 7 or 8 of them.
Thanks again.

John, Caught this one and several more the day after Jack and I fished with you.

I'll have to add that fly to my arsenal.

What's really is bad is when you run out of those flies and the fish are still biting....
Good fishing technique trumps all.....wish I had it.
As I recall, it was a size 20 midge larva pattern - dark olive thread with a silver rib, trailing a Griffith Gnat. Caught several fish with it, and had a few that hit the gnat but didn't eat it.

P.S. Those "Rocky Mountain Oysters" in size 20 really aren't much good for anything.
The fish are always right.
