Thanks, ST.
We'll be heading into the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming above Pinedale. The last time I went, we did the horseback thing but we were on the wrong side of the mountain...or maybe we just didn't know what we were doing. I did manage to land two 16" goldens on that trip, but my largest cut was about 14". At the same time, my buddy/guide was on the other side of the mountain, just slaying them.
I couldn't cast across the pool that held the 16 inch fish, but most of the creeks are smaller. It's the lakes where my buddy said the trout are often just out of reach. For that reason, we're leaving earlier in June (the 22nd) than he did his previous trips.
Apparently, the fish come closer to shore when they're spawning, and the warming trends of the past few years have pushed that earlier. There IS a good snowpack this year, so we might run into trouble, but it's a crap shoot trying to nail a one week window of opportunity.
IF i get a fast 3 wt., it could be the perfect rod for the San Juan River. My 4 wt is fine there, but I COULD go a bit lighter. My 2/3 fiberglass is a bit light, especially when the afternoon winds kick up.
We'll see.
