Epic Swing Day 7 - Wind River 04May19

Yesterday was repair & moving day as the generator failed and I had to go to Thermopolis for tools and parts and on the way I found a much nicer campground below Boysen Dam on the river... so I moved. I also got my license to fish on the Wind River Rez ($70 for the year for a senior versus $40/day or $90 for 7 days). Today I hit an area known as Wedding Of The Waters where the Wind River exists the canyon and its name changes to Bighorn River. It was a very nice day and a big fish day for me as I spied and caught a nice 22” brown. He took a mini-leech pattern I learned from Landon Mayer. I didn’t do much else this AM - Unfortunately flows were bumped 3 days ago and the river is “snotty” with a lot of weeds cut loose. The Wind River Canyon is a lot like the BHSC but the cliffs are steeper and higher - its very pretty. When in Thermopolis I checked the hot springs terracing that lends itself to the town’s name.
