Welcome to our church!
The hike was pretty straightforward, but rather hot, since a lot of the shading vegetation was, shall we say, “well done.”
Nice views of the stream almost the whole time
The fishing was good, not great, but I was able to catch plenty of these:
Juvenile Steelhead
West Slope Cutt
And a few of these:
Rocky Mountain Bonefish
Not to mention some of these:
Juvenile Chinook Salmon
There were some other tributaries of the many forks of the Salmon River that I fished as well, one of which is pictured here
There was a very small town way out there in the sticks, which actually did have its own gas station. I wonder if they had full service?
After a couple of weeks, I moseyed my way back to California via Oregon, so I could stop and visit some family. On my way back home, I stopped and caught a few salmonid species unique to our state.
Goose Lake Redband
Warner Lakes Redband
Sheepheaven Redband
It was a good trip, plenty of fishing, relaxing and communing with nature, but it’s nice to sleep in my own bed and eat much better food for my meals. I’m also starting to think about where I’m going to go next year…we’ll see.
