That photo of Joe rowing really reflects to me the feeling of him recharging and taking all the beauty in...
Has a calming effect on me....
Simple beautiful...
I had not even noticed the reflection in the photo......

Relaxed and now a Full Time Trout Bum, Est. 2024
Looking forward ...
... by looking back. The road to the Merriam Lake trailhead in Idaho's Lost River Range is one of the worst I've seen, hardly a road in several places. The hike to lake is short, about two miles, but rather steep, gaining almost 1,000' elevation in the last mile. You really have to want to see this place to get there - and it is worth it.
There are resident brook trout, and the fishies will eagerly take a dry fly if you get it in striking range.
The peak in the background is Mount Idaho, and Idaho's highest peak, Mount Borah is just a couple miles to the north.

The fish are always right.
I have a couple! I took these all myself. First one with my new point and shoot camera, and the others with my cell phone camera!

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

Someplace to go ...
... this summer - Mount Wright on the Rocky Mountain Front.
On a clear day, the views from the summit in all directions are outstanding. To the east, down Blackleaf Canyon to the plains around Bynum and beyond. To the Northeast and for 270d to the Southeast, a sea of mountain peaks and valleys, as far as you can see. Not an easy hike to the summit, but a good trail, and the rewards are well worth the effort.
Got to keep it on the desktop as a reminder of what it takes to get there.

John, looks like a good place to stop and fish, to heck with all that walking.
Not much in the way of fishies ...
... in that creek, Karen. The USFS people told me there were some brookies, and I did catch one one time a bit further down the creek. Last time I was up there, I did see what appeared to be an 8-10" cutthroat or rainbow while scouting a pretty good length of water. Didn't even bother to rig up. There is some decent fishing in the general area, but it's a way from where the pic was taken.Originally Posted by herefishy
On the other hand, another pic that will grace my desktop on and off in preparation for doing more hiking this coming summer ...
... is the Wyoming Range. The second pyramidal peak from the right is Wyoming Peak, highest point in the range. A return to Wyoming Peak summit ( it's been about six years now ) is the goal. To the west of the Wyoming Range ( to the left in the pic ) is the Greys River. Now THAT is a place to do some fishing.

Gotta get to the Grey's - have tried twice, but not gotten there - sure looks like purty country. How in the world does one stream hold trout and another, not? Looks fishy. Too straight and shallow? Too quick? Not enough "stuff" on the bottom?
