WATER CONDITIONS: Normal
LOCATIONS FISHED: North Clear Creek, BIG HORN MOUNTAINS
FLIES USED: #12 Half Back, #12 Hopper, Chernobyl Ant
ROD USED: 7’9” 2 wt Winston
HATCHES: None
OTHER: Fished with Dick and Dave. Dave is Dick’s brother and owns Sports Lure, the largest sporting goods store in Wyoming. Dave took Dick and me up into the Big Horn Mountains via mules and pack horse. After driving to the trailhead, we rode about an hour and a half to fish at Hunter Park. The scenery was spectacular. We all wet waded as the creek was only a foot or so deep in most places, with lots of riffles and small pools. Small brook trout were abundant, taking the hopper readily. I must have caught 40+ fish in a 2 to 3 hour period, though about half were less than 6 inches long. It was a great day, with saddle sores, sore knee, and all. This area can be hiked into as well and is definitely worth fishing again.
