All that stuff looks close to home for me Chuikov, where are (where?) you?  Fat brown, pretty brookies, Beartooths?  Am hoping to get in a short trip into the Bob Marshall soon....smoke right now is discouraging...

Dead fish, boat on bottom of lake, another dead fish, beer bottle found in lake, another dead fish, friends stranding you at lake .... better than AH? 

[Chris79]

All fish survived. Heck I even use barbless hooks. THats The snowy mountains in south central Wyoming. I have spent a fair some of time in the beartooths though.

I apparently didn't go far enough into Wyoming on the eclipse weekend. Did see some wonderful Colorado mountains on the way.

Americans go to Colorado for Labor Day, Colorado greenies go to Wyoming, and people from Wyoming wish greenies would go away.

Maybe it's a British thing, but here in America we still have a few places where a guy can fish AND drink out of the same river.

See that snow There?  Winter is around the corner, them drifts could be glaciers soon.

Not much beats a good day in the mountains.  Dry air and clean water!

I would not eat any of those fish you don't know where they have been!

If they don't come out of a tin or supermarket you cannot be sure!

That water's full of fish plop! You haven't thought this through 

[Chris79]

I would worry much about fish poop, beavers are a different story. If in the high country and you insist on drinking the water, make sure there are no beavers upstream. Giardiasis is no fun.

Now I know where I got "beaver fever".

A fish laying on the ground is better than AH?  Get outta here!

Those SC WY Mountains look very impressive!   Had planned a backpacking trip into the Wind Rivers earlier, but we ended up diverting to Glacier NP due to weather and smoke.  At 68 and needing a hip upgrade I may not have too many backpacking trips left in me.  But did manage 8 days in the Beartooths last summer.  The young men that I was the pack animal for when they were growing up now help keep the old guy backpacking and hunting by packing extra weight for me.
