Fewer, Bigger Fish With Wilks On The Lake Fork @ Seay & Big Blue @ CG Trailhead 04Sep18

Tom and I opted for trout despite our mates fishing Kokanee @ Garlic Mikes. I know they did well, as did we. Tom & I almost got to Hinsdale (the least populated county in the country BTW) and fished the Seay access of Lk Fk (after a bit of searching). Tom caught fish, some nice ones, the objective. I snagged a few decent ones too - an 18" brown and his lesser bros as well as a 19" rainbow, on whom I failed to pic, so the Lk Fk today yielded bigger fish but fewer fish; I still a caught lot of smaller rainbows. Best flies were the top fly for the small 'bows but the DCEZWD40 on the big fish.
After lunch TAW & I drove to remote reaches to fish Big Blue Ck. I tied a simple Royal Wulff for the brookies and stunned 'em in the rain. Too, I encountered a huge young bull moose @ 20 ft around a corner - whoa. Willks got cold so we hit High Alpine for a hot dinner.
