Went up to Spinney and fished from 11 to 5 on Thursday, camped at 11 mile and fished Spinney again Friday morning. The gal at the entrance shack told us 290 vehicles came in by noon on opener.
We landed about 30 trout 17 to 22 inches, another 20 or so were LDR's and missed many other hits. Primarily used egg patterns and phesant tails on fly rods or freshwater basics (legal) tube jigs on casting rods.

Typical fish for our trip
One of the larger fish for us. Kind of beat up on the back like from a pike or bird attack or maybe hit by a 1oz Kastmaster.
Good trip with warm weather. Spinney may not be at it's best but not bad either. No fish dipicted in this post were kept or eaten as that is my normal MO. Good luck if you get a chance to go and walk around to the south side if the wind is too strong on the north or dam!

Recently was up DEEP in the mountains fishing with my buddy...We came across a huge group of Colorado River Cutthroat Trout. We of course fished for them but we wanted to see if we could film them too. Luckily they were crowding around a small current provided by a little spring, flowing into...
Went North for a couple days. I got the only trout, a 5.6lb chubby. Roger got the big eye at 5.1 lb. 3 of us caught 130 eyes in 2 days about 15 hours total. Missed / Lost as many if not more. Plastics worked well.
...but I didn't. Metal Militia strikes again!!
After my commenting to Z I would be down for hookers and blow I figured I had better post and let everyone know all I really want to do is catch eyes. Don't want this kind of stuff getting back to my wife or, Jenny for that matter - don't want...
