TR - North Platte/Gray Reef, Wyoming 4-26-08

Ok, first of all, this was the first guided float trip I have been on in a long time. Let me mention that it is very difficult to take pictures of actual fish in a boat with a guide - I was so into what I was doing, the thought of the camera didn't even cross my mind when we were in the fish. So sorry, no fish pics.

Also - many thanks to our guide Stew, he was a super cool guy, an excellent guide and we had a GREAT time.

It was C-O-L-D that morning. It never got much above about 30 degrees all day. Jim and I each caught somewhere around 20 or so fish a piece, and we each missed strikes on probably double that.

I'm just going to post some pictures that I took throughout the day - I only really had the chance to pull out the camera when we were rowing to different spots and before/after being on the water. Sorry it's not much, but enjoy.

Fair amount of boats, we probably saw 7 or 8 other boats that day. Didn't see too many folks out on their own, mostly guided trips.
