Looking for Bighorn Sheep

Took a drive to Big Horn Sheep country hoping to get a glimpse of one. No luck, beautiful country though!

Fly Fishing Pioneer Creek

Fished today for trout and caught about 35.

Karen caught her first trout ever on a fly rod and did pretty good too! A fast learner.

We caught Brook Trout, Rainbows, Cutthroats and Whitefish.

Friday night cookout

Had a great time last night with Tom & Sheri. Not sure what time we went to bed even tried to fish last night. That was a mistake, we kept seeing fish up in the trees. At least that's where the lures ended up!

Going up on Union Pass today to catch some Brook Trout for dinner tonight.

Tom has shot a moose up in this area and has seen several wolves.
