Michelles cousins new husband has 35 acres just south of lander, wyoming. they invited us to come up for the weekend. we only spent 2 nights but had a really good time. his property overlooks rock creek res. unfortunately i was only able to get out 1 day for some fishing. we fished a close by river for a few hours and i was able to get into a handful of browns and 1 rainbow. there were some big mayflies coming off. i stuck with dries the whole time. i changed up a few times, trying to stay somewhat small but it wasn't till i threw on a size 10 hummer stone that i started to get some fish. later in the day a cicada pattern was kicking ass. this river was by far the toughest that i have ever waded. the water was deceivingly deep and had big slippery ass rocks. i have never encountered rocks so damn slippery. i thought i was going to eat it several times, but thanks to my mountain goat like feet i was able to keep standing. most of the fish were 10-12" with a couple of smaller ones and a couple in the 16" range. after we returned to camp from fishing we grilled up some steaks then headed down to the lake for fire works. i headed down a little earlier then the rest so that i could take the pontoon for a swim. i only landed 1 fish and i want to say it was a cutt but it's body was so dark i couldn't tell if it were a 'bow' or a cutt. it was a good weekend and look forward to heading up there again for some more fishing.
