Some recent pics...

Now that's indicator fishing! My buddy told me the trout at Upper K were hitting his indy more than his fly. So, I treated an egg fly with floatant & used it as an indy with a nymph underneath; couldn't keep them stocked cutties of it!

I may have taken a wee bit too long getting a pic of this bull trout before I released it; I think he was OK, though...

I watched this whitefish come up & eat this big foam fly about 5 feet from me; not sure how he fit it in that little mouth, but he got it first try...

This brookie ate the same fly; seems to have a deformed gill plate...

Great photos, Steve. Indeed, I like that there is more than fish.

The day before, I had same situation with the indy and forgot my big hoppers in the car... for next time I am tying some yellow indicators with a hook hidden in it.

My buddy had been there with his kids a couple days earlier & was getting lots of hits on his indy. He tied on a small indy with a hook and a small weight so his kid could cast it with a spincast outfit. She caught a bunch of small cutties & one that he described as a 5 lb'er. Gotta give them fishies what they want... ;)

Mr. Loblaw,

 

In the future, when you catch a nice Bull Trout, please refrain from lying it on the dry rocks as it will remove it slime coat and it could subject it to infection.

 

Other than that, wicked Bully!

 

Someday, if I take enough pics, I will get the ultimate fish pic by which all other fish pics will be judged. If a few hundred bull trout have to be sacrificed in the process...; well, you know what they say about having to break eggs to make an omelet... :angel:smail:
