Thanks for the input. I did what you basically said. Hiked into the box with the wife( who doesn't fish, takes fotos) and found it too hard for her to trail after me onshore so terminated that idea.
Fly fished Last Chance in the afternoon and missed 1 lber and estimated two pounder on grasshopper/nymph rig. Fishing up stream could not get good hook set.
Next morning fished the Ranch around 10-12AM and caught an 18 incher and 3 or 4 12 inchers on tan fly size 18. Great fight out of the 18 incher, couple of leaps and everything. Missed another big one who I could not set the hook beofre he spit it out.
For first visit to the area, very much enjoyed it! Thanks for you advice. see you next year.
