Fall Foliage and Big Cutthroat
The sun was bright and the air was crisp as we hooked the 16' crestliner fishing machine to the trailer hitch.

Yes sir......another beautiful fall day in Idaho.

We loaded too many rods and even more reels lined with fly lines for every depth. Why do we do that when we end up fishing the same lines most of the time anyway?
 
Whatever.Back to the story.

We're cruising down the highway with hot coffee, a can of tobacco, and hopes for a big fish. Besides a pile ful of cash, we have everything we need.

Dropping in and stripping leeches was exactly what I was looking for. Centennial Mountains in the backround, and beautiful cutthroat, hybrids, and brook trout in the foreground.

40-80' casts 3-10 second pause with little slack in the line, and slow strips...........tight...strip......tighter......strip again......yup, therrrrrrrre eeeeee is. That's Henry's Lake when the bite is on.
