Wyoming

Tom and his family own 4000 acres in Wyoming that used to be a dude ranch. Tom, Zeus, and I fished for Cutthroat Trout on a catch and release section of the Tongue River near the ranch. I caught the only fish, about 4 inches long, photographed it and released it. Shortly thereafter, I was approached by a touristy looking guy who asked, “How’s the fishing going?” I told him I caught one cutthroat and he asked to see it. I informed him it was catch and release and that I had released it. After trying everything he could to trick me into saying I did something wrong, he showed me his badge and asked to see my license. Personally, I was offended, but maybe its what needs to be done to make sure everyone is playing by the rules.

The next day Tom took us fishing in the ranch ponds where we caught many Brown Trout. He showed us the cabin over looking the waterfall on the creek that flows though their property. Queen Elizabeth actually ate lunch at the cabin and signed their guest book. I caught a real nice Rainbow just below the falls.

This picture was taken from the cabin’s wrap around deck.
