Heimdallr Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Well, as I've actually begun to visit this board more and more the last month or so I figure it's about time I had something to contribute. After spending the last several days writing essays I figured it was finally time to make my first trip out on April 16. Armed with my Darth Vader Pez Dispenser, a mix CD, and the obligatory fishing gear I hit Hansen's Reservoir and Stauffer for a fishless first day. I then spent June mostly fishing on Sylvan with nothing really of note happening. At the end of June I went camping with a good buddy of mine and we fished the Clearwater and Phyllis Lake...again with nothing really spectacular. This is starting to sound terrible isn't it? At the beginning of July I was up in the Peace Country visiting my parents and going to my cousins wedding so I checked out Spring Lake near Hythe a few times. I also found this large dying Rainbow covered in some kind of tumors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 On July 17 I hit up Birch Lake for some Brookie action and was not disappointed. I kept this one for the pan. It tasted a bit muddy, but hell, it was the heat of the summer. On the 25th I went hiking the South Ram with my girlfriend and manage a couple of Cutts and a Brown at Elk Creek on the way home. The month of August, looking back, seems to be mostly inconsequential other than a brief afternoon trip to Spring Lake again. Looking back it seems my adventures didn't really pick up until September. No wonder it didn't feel like I got enough fishing in. Unfortunately, I was away from home working a lot and sometimes that's just how she does I guess. I hit the Bighorn River on September 1st and manage to hook into some decent Cutties for the Bighorn averaging around 14". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 On September 10 I visited a beautiful little meadow creek teeming with Cutthroats. My next Adventure was on the 13th to the North Ram where I had a blast hooking into fat as hell Cutties. The biggest of the day was an 18" hog of Cutt.

Heimdallr Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 I revisited the North Ram on the 22nd and had just as good if not a better day with the largest fish hitting 20". I woke up and my glands were swollen and my head hurt. I had a fever. My girlfriend finally passed her diabolical illness onto me. But it was one of my fishing day and there was no way I was letting a little sickness get in the way. Especially after what a good time I had on the Ram last time. I actually missed a trip at the end of August where I took my Mom to the Bighorn River and to a small Cuttie stream. It was nice to actually have a photographer with me for once.

Heimdallr Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 I think this brings me to October and I have no doubt missed a few trips. October is already shaping up to be a decent month so I think I'll give it it's own topic. Nothing too amazing this year, but a lot of fish, a fair bit of decent sized ones and tons of new water explored. I've definitely enjoyed it.
