Not my photo. Haven't been back in almost 60-years. Drove there in dad's'51 Ford, wore slippery hip boots and fished mainly an Adams.

A situation when the curse of the first cast fish hold true is when you catch a brook trout on the Big Hole. Usually don't encounter them on the lower river and if you do it means the brookies aren't fearing predation right then. Real poor omen for the float.

O.K. it's a stinking Utah chub. Angler seems appropriately excited.
