Winter Trout Fishing

[Alkasquawlik]

Ice in your guides, beanies on your noggin. Where you fishing, what you got?

That's winter fishing? Pffft. No snow on the ground and you're not even wearing a proper fucking coat.
Good fish, though.


I've already posted most of my pics from this winter, but here's a few ya'll haven't seen.
Nothing special.

Went out for a lovely morning on the Provo yesterday (crappy phone pics).

I was out on the Clarks Fork the other day. I dont have any photographs because taking pictures is women's work and I was alone, the way fly fishing should always be conducted. The fish are uninterested in eating until early afternoon this time of year but I managed to catch two. Two was exactly enough and it was goddamn cold, the valley so deep we lose sunlight around 3pm.

I boiled them later the Swiss way, in a liquor of wine vinegar with bay leaf and a bit of red pepper. They taste like trout that way, not like some chef's wild idea. We ate them with a cold bottle of Sion.

My favorite parts of winter fishing are the sharp, warming taste of whiskey, and undressing in front of a roaring fire to the sounds of your wife making ready to cook in the kitchen. She doesnt even ask, she just uncorks the Sion and pours you a glass.

Not winter in the ice and cold sense, but it was December.

Lower Mountain Fork River, OK. Headed back at the end of the month.
