Bighorn ewes on the way to the lake for the first trip.
My son with our first day's keepers. Lots released that day.
So the trout in good condition are ruby red and taste a lot like salmon. Those pre and post spawn are not as red. Have a milder flavor.
4 browns and a lake trout. The lake trout are different. I only keep ones under 24 inches. Some like them more, some prefer the ruby red.
While tough to find, there are yellow perch in Blue, best eating fish in my opinion.
Often get into both.
Lake trout, brown, rainbow.
Yesterday. They were too frozen to get pictures on the ice. It was -9 when I unloaded the sleds. Only 24 when I left.
Thinking about guiding professionally next year. At least until calving starts. I'll be working for someone else. Likely Colorado Fishing Expeditions or Sport Fish Colorado. Or both as need arises.
