Sunset on the Snake River

Since I had forgotten to take my camera last evening for my first fishing session at sunset on the Snake River, I decided to go back today after most of the rain and clouds had cleared hoping to catch a better sunset than I saw last night.  I think I lucked out and really got some especially nice shots -- also caught another Cutthroat before the sunset spectacular started.

Eastern  Meadows

Before I crossed the bridge to the south, the low sunlight on the eastern meadows got my attention and the first shot of the evening -- before I rushed down the embankment on the other side to make my first cast of the evening (and the day).

After two casts, I had a nice 12 inch Cutthroat on my stringer.  No more hits after that but, the sunset provided a nice nightcap -- unless I decide to have a Johnny Walker Black Label on ice.

Both good fishing spots on the south shores of the Snake River bridge near Flagg Ranch.  Earlier, I had already enjoyed half of the 19 inch Lake Trout caught yesterday midday -- froze the 17 inch Cutthroat and another 12 incher caught later in the day.  Good Father's Day of fishing -- only better if Tim and Laura had been here too.
