Me and my bro made a trip out to the Hams Fork. First time out there, sure is a fun little river. Little disappointed to find the browns had already spawned, abandoned redds at most the tailouts. First hour or so was pretty tough finding a consistent pattern but once we did the fishing was great. A size 20 purple wd40 was doing great for me and my brother was doin pretty good on a hares ear. Best of the day was a 19inch rainbow. Also picked up a nice brown.

Beauty is easy to find, even somewhere as desolate as Kemmerer, Wyoming.

We got off the water as it was getting dark and called it a night. Went back out in the morning to try a different section and ran into some access issues but managed to land a real nice bow on a streamer. Fought like a freight train, its been far too long since i caught a wild bow of that size. Turned out to be 20 inches and fat.

Ran out of river to fish here so we moved on. Headed down to a public access and the river was crap compared to where we were the night before. Didnt see a single fish in a half mile stretch so we moved again. Found a short stretch before it turned private again and we both hooked into BIG fish. Ripped a streamer across a nice run and it stopped dead, set the hook and he came tearing to the top and showed me his side. Looked to be 20-23 inch brown. And then he was off...thats how it goes more often than not. We called it a day and headed home. It was amazing to get out and take a break from school, explore, and fish some unfamiliar water with good results. Its what keeps me going!
