Those lakes, we realize after checking our maps from camp at Lake Ethel, are another 7 miles away. In smaller streams, this could be enough to cool the water down during the day. The phenomenon occurs naturally in rivers and streams, but is gone in many places because of soil erosion and channelization.
They’d heard about a few such lakes high in the Wind River Range, a pile of jagged granite slicing northwest to southeast across Wyoming’s middle. The Winds are packed with peaks over 12,000 feet and have the largest contiguous glacial complex in the lower 48. While even these glaciers are rapidly vanishing, many remain scattered among fields of rock and boulders. Like so many Wyoming kids, Josh and Nick met at the University of Wyoming.
Once the tension had died down a little, you can click and hold again. When the fish is yours, you can either sell it or donate it to the museum. If it’s your first time catching that kind of fish, it’s recommended that you donate it. Our original plan had been to make it to a couple of lakes that Rhea promised held 18- or even 20-inch cutthroat trout. They might not be pure strains—some are likely hybrids with rainbow trout or of a couple cutthroat subspecies—but they would be big.
He motored us across the lake to a bay he knew where we might be able to catch some pike. The wind came up a little, so we decided to just drop anchor and hold our position. That position became one of the cornerstones of my life. Even if the person you are gifting isn’t a survivalist or building a survival kit, having some UCO Stormproof Matches on hand while in the backcountry never hurts.
Our party stood on the dock watching us with binoculars. They feared we would not make it in the storm, and wondered why we had not come in sooner. They didn’t know I had operated on myself, and that Grandpa’s arm had gone numb from his grip on the fish. He could hear German submariners on deck talking, just on the other side of the iceberg. A portable sink is an underrated piece of equipment for car camping or overlanding.
No lure maker is more synonymous with striper surf fishing than Stan Gibbs. In 1945—the same year World War II came to an end—Gibbs Lure Company was born in Massachusetts, and the timing couldn’t have been better. During the post-war era, Americans found more time and money for recreation and leisure activities, which included surf fishing. Prior to Gibbs, surfcasters leaned on plugs like the Creek Chub Pikie Minnow, and while effective, they were made in the Midwest for freshwater pursuits. But Gibbs were built by striper fishermen for striper fishermen. The company would release several plug styles that remain staples today, but none is arguably more versatile and effective than the Danny Surface Swimmer.
