Bill, I did not know you did Trout fishing too! Yesterday (Oct 18) was my Birthday. After a eye appointment I tried to catch a fresh run Steelhead. I di not get one hit just like the other fishermen! The water is super clear & low. The barometer was high...nothing doing. I have my best luck on a falling barometer.
Well I should be able to finish my airplane & maybe get in some flying before snow sets in. Take care & keep healing. Capt,n PS I may have fished the lake where the Wind River starts...... Brooks Lake.....Loved it!
You are close but no Cigar.
The wind river starts at Wind River lake,a few miles past Brooks lake turn off.Brooks lake creek comes out of Brooks lake and into Wind river.
There is a airplane lost now in the Wind River Mts.Going to fly from Jackson to Riverton in a snow storm.Was a Mooney with four people.A man from Minn with his three sons. Terrible terrible.They said he went off Radar close to Gannet peak,highest point in Wy.They did have contact with him and last call was he had lost control of the airplane.The wind could easily have been over 100 MPH up there.They may not find until spring.
They found a airplane in Wy a few years ago,that had been lost for twenty years.
