That last great photo, looks like brookie?  Where is this getaway?

The fish pics are of a Western Slope Cutt, Bull trout and a bow

Dude - WOW!  

Let's do Hyrum, Echo, & Rockport on the hard deck when I get back from killin'stuff in Texas.  

Looking forward to it, just need the ice to get a bit thicker

Northern Idaho in the panhandle, we were about 50 miles from the Canadian border

Alan I just read your report and loved it.  My wife and I actually went up there in November to try it out.  We tried to hire a charter but they were all booked.  I read a ton and did my best.  We ended up catching 3 "Shakers" (as they call them).  I was running flies and a few Lymans.  My question is color.  Apparently those Kams are pretty finicky when it comes to color on their flies, apex's and lymans.  Would you mind sharing some specifics of your trip on colors, depths and speed?
Thanks so much!


Been wanting to hit this lake and try to catch a big Gerard bow so Dave and I booked with a guide to learn the ropes for 2 days. We rented an AirB&b in Bayview, brought the wives along and made a mini vacation. Temps were cold with lows in either single digits or low teens with highs just below freezing. Guide was great and shared a ton of info on the how, what and where. We ended up with 1 nice bow about 12lbs, had 1 break off after the hit on the DR and caught another 8-9 bows up to about 5lbs. We also got a bull and a western slope cutt, coloring of both was beautiful, I had never seen a bull before. The guide ran 14 rods with the planner boards and DR’s with apex’s, Lyman’s and flies. 1st day all the fish except 1 came on the DR, 2nd day it was just the
Opposite. All fish were released

Got your PM Travis
