We arrived at the Lazy Daze B and B just in time for host Art Grobben take us to his honey hole for some trophy rainbow trout. I hadn't cast a floating fly line (and Aaron never had) in quite awhile so it was kinda tough as I wasn't too good at it. There were trout rising all around us. Another boat with local angler Al was doing pretty good, catching several big fish, and I was hopeful of hooking into one as well. Unfortunately tonight was all about re-learning how to cast a dry fly line. Art did catch a great 22" native rainbow (seen above). What an amazing fish and fishery!

Beautiful fish and great report. It is hard for me to conceive that there are native rainbows.

One of my favorite places for sure. I also like to hit Sheep Creek were some of these fish seem to cruise up from time to time later in the year or if fishable right after opening.
