My wife and I left South Texas for a month long camping trip. We stopped in Sarasota, Wyoming for breakfast after camping in the Snowy Range for a few days. Right behind the restaurant was the North Platt River and next door to the restaurant was a fishing outfitter. We heard the young lady serving us talking about going camping so we inquired about some more camping sites near there. She wrote down three of them for us. We camped a one for three days but there was no creek or river near. She told how to get to a very remote place on the North Platt River so we bought two spinning rigs and some Panther Martin lures and found the most beautiful campsite we’ve ever seen. We stayed 5 days there and we both caught our first freshwater trout. My wife caught the first and largest but I caught the most. The large one my wife caught was 11 inches, quite a bit different from what we are used to catching where we live. I’ve been reading on the Stage about all of you fishermen fishing for trout with fly rods. There were 4 fly fishermen fishing the river and these fellows knew what they were doing. We saw a few 18-20” fish caught by them.
It’s a heck of a long way from home for us and someday we hope to return if it’s in the cards so to speak. Both of us are proud to say we’ve caught wild freshwater trout now😎👍

Very Nice El Rod!

I miss trout fishing so much living here in Central Texas.

Did you by chance grill them up for dinner?

Very happy for you guys.

Thanks Blackdog, I’m a little embarrassed by the way we cooked them. After I filleted the fish, which was a task since they were so small, we sautéed them in butter in the Blackstone griddle we us to cook with for our teardrop camper. They tasted very good. After talking to another fisherman near our campsite he told us just to gut and fill them. He said they season them with butter and salt and pepper and wrap them in foil and cook them for twelve minutes. He told me the bones just pull right out. We’re still learning😎👍

Good Morning, El Rod. I have enjoyed both worlds and I can't say which one I enjoy more. If I would have to say, I would have to say catching reds off of the Pike between Port A, and Aransas Pass with my fly rod. So, now you have a decision, my friend. PM me if you need help.

Those are trout...if ya ever get a chance, go to Alaska and fish the middle Kenai river...
My largest trout there was a 30 inch rainbow...my 2nd was 28...I've also caught Dolly Varden up 26 inches...
I must tell you though...I lived in Kenai 20 years and was set up with boat and gear to fish the river. I would look up a guide if you go...

Don’t want to sound mean but that looks like bait. I’m sure it was very tasty though.
