Sept. 7, 1977 (cont) aggregate catch was 48 trout between us, with perhaps a third of them in the 13 to 17" size range. My two decent sized flies too - no apparent need to go down to size 18 or 20. Most were game cutts, a few hybrid rainbow/cutts or apparent game rainbows. A fine buck antelope was prancing up and down the flats as we left, surprisingly shy. Two tiger bulls were evident in the distance. A prairie falcon came down the valley right over us. Had a strike cook-out at the picnic grounds East of Lamar Ranger Sta. Caught a few of our fish near there after supper. Sept. 8. Slough Creek Spent a pleasant day on Slough Creek. A pair of trumpeter swans flew up and down the stream as I took photos. A flock of honkers came by too. On the highway we saw two big bull moose being harassed by tourists with their Instamatic cameras. Also a coyote moving in a meadow. We took 5 fish between us. My three were 14 1/2, 15 1/2, and 18 1/2" - all cutts. The river was pretty slow.
