Nice HOG! There used to be a ton of great fish in there, but between the lower flows over the years and the angling pressure the canyon gets now, it has just decimated the big fish. It is really too bad. I didn't realize there were any THAT big still left up there. That's the kind of fish you'd expect to see come out of Cheesman or the Dream Stream!

Looks like you kept it. How did it taste???

Jman - very nice!......are those from Waterton Canyon?

Yeah they are from opening day i wont go back there anymore do to the pressure. And to be honest the fishing just isn't worth it to me.

Jman - when exactly is opening day? I thought Waterton Canyon was closed up until around 4/23/12 due to construction? Also, what did u catch those on if you don't mind sharing?

Strontia Springs Reservoir - Does anyone have any advice on where to fish the reservoir at the end of Waterton Canyon and the best way to access it and what to use?? Thanks in advance for the info!

Nice fish! Very bad for the fish to be held in the gills though.

Phishman - It'll be on my wall in a few weeks, so no worries.

Beauty! should've let that bad boy go and got a reproduction though. People wonder why big fish disappear from waters? Well there you go!

I agree with copighntr13.

Wish you would have put that back for the next guy, possibly me! Replica mount is definitely the way to go. Too bad it wasn't on a fly rod :)

Nice fish though in an unlikely location. Pretty cool!
