    Within an hour of Victor.

    Gonna hit some big water today. Headed out with my buddy not exactly sure if we are going to do the South Fork or Teton. He was talking three day trip on the South Fork, but I think he has too much to do before we would leave today.

    Oops, I forgot to mention that I caught a nice rainbow the first day and we had him for dinner on the river. You can keep one rainbow or brown a day but cutthroat are native and catch and release only.

    Looks like a great trip FF. My brother and cousin are out hiking and camping in the sawtooths right now. Not sure if they brought their fly rods with them or not.

    Last day here in Idaho. The fishing has been great the last three days. Don't have pics of fish due to the trips we did. I will write a wrap up when I am waiting for my flights tomorrow. Should get some pics today hopefully. There is snow on the peaks.

    The day after our South Fork over night we did a day trip into a certain creek. It was super steep down then we walked up stream and the fishing was great. I did not take my phone and was glad because I had a 16" fish on and turned in the creek and hit a rock a slipped and went swimming. I landed the fish though.

    The next day we did another over night this time on the Teton river in the canyon. It rained on and off and was cold. But the fishing was awesome. No fish pics. But here are some of the camp.

    There is a nasty rapid on this trip and thus the raft. It gets guided very rarely and the fishing is spectacular.

    Last day was a day trip to Elk creek that flows into Palisades lake. We hiked in and got into some really nice cutthroats for such a skinny creek.
