Thread: TR: Idaho Lunch Break

Not much to show here since I suck at taking photos with the droid. I'm not sure they could make the photo function any clunkier!

Anyhow, here are two quick fish I picked up during a late lunch break today. Both took a "red quill" or hecuba, depending where you're from... Big Wood River, downtown Ketchum. I have been using this old 7.5ft Fenwick Glass rod all summer. Pretty fun on this size fish. When they run, it feels like you have a 20 incher on.

Nothing wrong with the fish but even before I read the words in the post I thought, "damn sexy stick".

Any lunch fish is a good fish!

GGL, not to highjack your thread, but just back from a 13 day trip, spent 6 days in Ketchum, sorry did not have a chance to make a connection for some local info and beers. Fished the Big Wood a few days and got a ton of mostly smallish fish. Siver Creek was "tough", no Hopper action both days we spent on the water and apparantly did not match the hatches well enough to get more than a few of these "selective" fish. Highlight of the trip was a day on the Big Lost fishing 4 spots over 8 hours both above and below the reservoir, got into a great morning Trico hatch and nailed several fat 'bows and also got Cut's and hybrid Cut Bows. Spent 2 nights in Stanley on the Salmon and it was also tough; Fish & Game reported most of the trout were following the Salmon upstream and had cleared out of the lower Salmon area. Got a few fish but was hoping for more wide open action. Great part of the world and will be back again. Enjoy the Fall!

nothin like a little lunch break stoke! Those are some beautiful bows! makes me feel terrible about being couped up in my dorm room right now and not on the river!
