Dad and the Kid 2010

Nice Kelly.

Does your kid always torture you like this with great pictures of his exploits while you are laid up? Great to see a report from over that way. Sounds like the kids have some great trips still ahead on their mission to chase down goldens and grayling.

Glad to hear your recovering well and may soon be back out on the water yourself.

Thanks, Ben. the Kid and his buddies aren't the only ones torturing me - your reports are smokin'! Thanks for the concern.

Okay, here's another one by the Kid. He and buddies Ryan and Tyson did a short hike-in to a high-country lake along the Continental Divide near Kilgore, ID. They ran into a resident population of Westslope Cutties and had a ball. here are some pics of the scenery and the fish.

Hope you enjoyed today's edition of Dad and the Kid from southeast Idaho.

Tight lines,

Stellar report. Nice cutts for sure.

Well, I'm still trying to catch up on trip reports, but it seems to be a tough job. Only thing tough about it for me is that I wasn't there for any of them...but, I'm off of the crutches as of today, so progress towards fishing is taking place!

Here are pics from a recent outing by the Kid and his buddies to our favorite spring. It was a stellar day and there was a PMD hatch coming off that defies description. Hope you like it.

Can you say "Blanket Hatch"?


What we catch - spring creek brown trout:


With the occassional Cutty thrown in for good measure!:

I see you...:


Freshly emerged PMD and exoskeleton - what they were eating:


There's another one for your viewing pleasure. Hope it was worth your stopping by.

Tight lines, everyone.

That's good stuff there Kelly. Loved the pic of the PMD hatching out. Is that Aldous lake that the boys hiked into, or maybe Hancock? Haven't been there in a while. I keep looking at my pontoon, sitting there in the front of the garage, and thinking it needs some excercise. The inflamed tendon in my hand is getting a bit better, and I'm getting antsy to go float the upper Teton again. Oughta be a stray PMD still running around there somewhere.

Good stuff right there!!!

Excellent reports and pictures, Kelly. That Cutty was nicely colored. Very pretty fish.

Lew, you win the prize! It was Aldous Lake they hiked in to. Wish I could get out myself, but I'll just have to settle for living it through the eyes and experiences of others for now.
