While both the Walraths and my family camp all summer, hunt all fall, and have backpacked throughout our lives, none of us have tried something as ambitious as a dozen miles with thousands of feet in elevation and young kids in tow. Yellowstone biologists did this with westslope cutthroat trout and Arctic grayling in the Gibbon River, a stretch of historically fishless water where those two cold-water native species now thrive. On the west side of the Wind River Range, range expansion and refuge waters are becoming a viable option for Colorado River cutthroat, Rhea says.
Salt Strong coach Matt Lanier, () tells us, ”Cool temperature cold front has come in quick! Fish are fired up with this cooler weather and the opportunity to catch fish right now is easier than ever with fish moving around so much. Capt. Kevin Lanier of KC Sportfishing Mexico Beach, Fl reports” We blew right through the 40’s and had a temperature of 36 this morning on the Florida Panhandle. With that, most of our patterns are changed for 2022.

Look for patches of isolated weeds that will hold the active biters. “Topwater is still producing great in the morning and even into the afternoon, so be sure to throw those favorite topwater lures with that enticing walk-the-dog action for those big fish looking for an easy meal.
“Shouldn’t we file a police report?” one is heard asking. Nick and his wife, Hillary, are both project managers with Trout Unlimited in southwest Wyoming. They work with ranchers, land managers, and federal officials to keep water in streams for trout and remove culverts and other barriers to fish migration. It’s unsung work that may give struggling native and wild trout more years and more habitat in which to survive.
Warm-water species won’t outcompete all trout, not right away. Brown trout will likely fare best since they’ve evolved to tolerate warmer water. But native fish like cutthroat will suffer, Rhea says. Then there’s competition from warm-water specieslike smallmouth bass. Even if we buckle down and do everything possible to address climate change now, most scientists agree it won’t be enough. But that doesn’t mean fishing in the West is doomed.
According to Sami, the one making all the decisions is actually Gabler (like when we see him telling Ellie she can’t join them out on the raft). “I am not somebody that is an easy person to piss off, but when you sit and tell me how wrong I am at something and then offer no advice or no experience of your own, I’m going to get a little frustrated,” he says. “And Gabler repeatedly frustrated me this morning.” But it turns out Sami is not the only one annoyed by how long it takes to get anything done. “Oh my God, millennials,” the heart-valve specialist grouses.
