Gold in the Wind Rivers (Trip 1)
I got a call from my friend Kory stating he wanted to get his boy out for his first backpacking trip towards the end of July. We had one planned in August with the boys, there was no way I could say no to the Wind Rivers. For the past five years we have been searching for the Golden Trout in the Winds. Five years ago up in the North end of the range part of our party found 2-4" Golden's in a lake. I went another way on a day hike so I missed out.
This year we struck gold, nothing to massive. We had a good time minus the mosquitoes, they were horrible, the worst I've ever seen up there. We manged to survive them for the next two days. Kory's boy did great for doing 8-10 mile day hikes up and over 11800' saddles, then back over them again.
Here are a few pic's from our trip.

I hit a little stream full of Goldenseal in the Winds last summer and must have caught close to 40 that day bur the biggest was 14 inches. I found a pool with some residual spewing activity and worked it for two hours but couldn't catch any of the spawners. Gorgeous fish.

That's the fun your having while I'm home with your kid. Love your pic's babe. When are you going to post your August wind river photos? I'm sure they would love to see your big golden trout.
