.No fly fishing here so yes you can do that better than me . don't fish for trout as they are to small. I fish salmon in rivers using g loomis glx rods and 15 pd line with drift gear to hook and land kings up to 50 lbs .After spending money on helicopter fishing would think that you would have teeth sorry .I've had unappreciative losers before.Catch some great fish or kill nice animal still aren't happy.Teeth are important to self esteem do you know about low cost dental clinics ?

@seaduckman My teeth have recently been "fixed" - the helicopter flight was a gift from a dear friend and I've guided elk, deer, antelope hunters and fly-fishers off and on for years. Some more appreciative than others. I can assure you that after 2 strokes and 2 heart surgeries I truly appreciate EVERY day spent in the wilderness, whether you think I smile enough or not. I'm glad you enjoy catching 50 lb. salmon as much as I enjoy wilderness back pack trips. Best wishes. -trouttrek-

to cool to smile

[trouttrek]

@seaduckman - Actually, broken bottom teeth,but thanks for your interest and comment!

i hope you guys aren't kiling the Goldens? they are very rare, you should really think about catch and release, it's probably supposed to be anyway. leave some fish for my kids kids -thanks

[trouttrek]

Thanks for your comment. You are so right! I can assure you that catch and release is the rule and not the exception on these back-country trips! A few fish for dinner are only kept where legal and encouraged by local fisheries biologists for lake-overcrowding concerns. Hopefully, the next generation will love and appreciate these resources as much as you and I do!

@trouttrek hey trouttrek do u ever fish the sierra nevada of CA?

[michaelsw0rd]

what rod wt?

[Dryfly00]

@troutman222 ok

[troutman222]

@Dryfly00 I dont think you understand the difference between a trophy golden and a golden. In order to have big fish in high mountain lakes there has to be a low fish density, this is generally caused by poor spawning habitat. If you think it's ok to kill even onebig golden then you're a total moron. that fish has been in there for decades! Im not opposed to keeping a brookie or two from a lake that has thousands upon thousands but keeping large trout from high country lakes is really stupid

[Dryfly00]

@troutman222 Ok Ranger Rick. The fishing pressure has everything to do with whether or not its ok to keep fish. Those high alpine lakes in the Winds do not get fished often. Plus Golden's reproduce and grow pretty fast in those bigger lakes. I'm all about trout conservation and I have put a lot of man hours into stream restoration. I'm allergic to fish, I have never eaten one in my life but I wouldn't care if someone kept a trout from a large lake that had a good population of fish.

[troutman222]

@germanchocolate1982 there aren't any goldens in colorado actually (or at least not very many the only lake I knew of that had 'em got stocked with cutties) your best bet for goldens is in the wind river range in WYO (where this is) or in the sierras (south fork of the little kern, golden trout wilderness, ect...)

[troutman222]

@Dryfly00 thats a pretty dumb assessment, considering there are maybe 2 dozen lakes in the world that produce large goldens. killing even one is a really bad idea and does the fact that an area receives little pressure give you licence to kill fish haphassardly?
