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.
