Fish: Cutthroat Trout

High mountain cutty

After a steep 6.75 mile hike and several hours of fishing I finally landed this little fatty. She was released to grow another year.

Wow that's fatty and beautiful too. Thanks for sharing, it looks so pristine up there makes me want to go for a hike.

Thank you! It was beautiful. A little more than I expected to take on but I’m glad we went.

Thanks guys! It was my first decent fish caught on a fly rod so I was pretty pumped.

I bet you could feel a change in the air up that high. Im afraid my lungs would really feel a change since I havent done one lick of cardio this summer! Great pics.

Mason Reservior is a small hike at11000 ft but the cuties are worth it.

That looks like a football, just in time for the season. Lucky us, Colorado has great scenery and some pristine spots left to view it. Good work on the fly rodding.
