Great day of hiking and fishing. We hiked to a spot on the Lamar River, famous, as mentioned earlier, for bison herds but also a great trout water.
So Jim, as they say, "wet a line " for a while. Actually a couple of lines. And with great success!!!
Not with catching fish, of course, but with line wetting. The lines got nicely soaked, which helps keep them supple.
And actually, he did manage to hook three small cutthroat trout.
We should have mentioned that we've been seeing lots of antelopes. They like the sagebrush country. Officially they are called "pronghorns " because technically they are not closely related to the antelopes of Africa and Asia. So we compromise and call them 'lopes.
