The last time Ryan went fishing this is what he saw. If it weren't for the pictures (and even with some of the pics:) ) I would have thought this was just a big fish story. If you know Ryan you know he LOVES flyfishing (like at times I wonder what his true love is j/k). He hiked down to the river and he saw some big "things", and when one of the "things" moved he realized they were big fish and he got really excited. Then he looked up and saw this giant bull moose just about 25 yards up the river from him so needless to say it was probably one of the coolest days of his life. He said the biggest fish (and all 3 cutthroat he caught were pretty big, 20+ inches) was about the size of the silver salmon (not the King Salmon) he caught in Alaska and our guess is it was 27 inches. The best part of the story is that when he got home and was telling me all about it, he checked and the area was closed to fishing. Go figure, the biggest fish are in a closed area! He sure had a lot of fun fishing illegally, and we know that ignorance sure is bliss!

It's true that the best fish are in the closed areas. No one can fish there, so they all pool there and grow. Darn it huh!
