Woke up to a cold Wyoming winter Saturday
I think this means it is 4 degrees outside
Troy boats the first fish of the day ...
... and it's a HUGE brown trout
We guestimated over 22 inches long
Troy is very happy (and affectionate) about this fish
For his encore, Troy boats a whitefish ...
But then gets his trout mojo back with a nice little cutty
Scott boats a nice cutthroat trout
Scott's nice cutthroat
Stopped under the bridge to get out of the snow, re-tie, and gesture "Hello"
Snow just kept falling and freezing ...
Everything ended up frozen, and we kept catching fish!
Bring it on!
Checking out the run
Troy walks the boat to the ramp through the shallow water
Launching on day 2 - an extra foot of snow fell the night before
Are we wearing enough layers for this?
Jerry, Justin, & Lee push off to start the fishing
Gonna strip some streamers ...
Troy in the front of the boat to start the float
Fishing the bank, snow covered trees as a backdrop
Lee boats a really big whitefish
Justin getting the ice out of his eyelets (frequent problem on this day)
Troy hunting a trout
Frozen snow-covered gear
Out of the boat, getting circulation going again
Bundled up, ready to push off
Smiling? Or teeth chattering?
Troy still in the action with another whitefish
Boots froze to the foot brace!
Had to keep the beer in a cooler so it wouldn't freeze
Troy gets a little cutty in the net
Cutthroat boated on a small nymph
Troy ends day two with a nice little trout
