Last night my son-in-law, Jesse, decided he wanted to fish Henrys Lake this morning. It turned out to be a great day. After a few fish, Jesse landed the largest brook trout he has ever caught. It was 20 1/4 inches and weighed about five pounds. It was one of the most colorful brook I have seen this year.
It is one of those "enuf" fish. I will in the future run my essay on "enuf" fish. But we continued to catch fish.
here is a female brook trout Jesse caught.
But 15 of the 18 fish we caught were cutthroats between 16 to 22 inches. All were caught on the Light Olive Crystal at Howard Creek near Henrys Lake State Park.
Great way to spend a Saturday morning in the wilds of Idaho.

Congratulations to Jesse on a job well done with another beautiful Brookie! Thanks for sharing.
That brookie on top is a hog! Congrats!
I've never seen a Brooies that big. Chubby little fellow. You can see by the smile on Jesse's face what kind of day he had. A fine day of fishing.

That sure is one beautiful brookie!
And to think a 9 inch brookie is considered a "monster" on our little spring creeks. Big or small they are gorgeous.
Thats one big brookie. Brookie's here tend to be small.
Those are some pretty fish! I haven't been here in awhile. I don't remember if you catch and release or eat some of the fish you catch.
My husband doesn't fish so often anymore, but he had gotten so he was releasing them all. I wanted him to bring some to eat at least once in awhile.
Fishing is not something I like but my hubby is a great fisherman.
I feel sorry for them getting hooked!!What can I say I'm the ultimate lover of Nature!
