Fishing

Tuesday didn’t go quite as planned, but we still had fun. Greg was interested in fishing on Yellowstone Lake, and I was interested in taking a boat tour of the lake.

We had hoped that we could do our various activities at the same time, but the schedules did not align. I ended up hanging out at the campground reading my book while Greg went fishing.

Look at that smile! Someone is having a wonderful time.

Lake trout are an invasive species at Yellowstone Lake. Consequently, if you catch one, you are required by law to kill it. In contrast, cutthroat trout are native to the lake. If you catch one of those, you are required to throw it back.

The first trout Greg caught was a lake trout. All the others were cutthroat trout.

Apparently, cutthroat trout are feisty little buggers.
