TR: Piute Pass Loop 8/1-5, 2024

The skinny smaller fish on the left (Humphreys Lakes) is from the next lake up. As for what fly I used, I have so much trouble tying on flies (arthritis in my hands and poor eyesight) I keep on any old fly until it is nothing but a hook. I had some yellow thing then a more mosquito like thing. I really have no idea of what the flies are supposed to be. Maybe that is why I do not land Golden trout very often- maybe they are pickier than Brookies. The biggest fat fish were from Muriel Lake- easy to catch too.

Thanks for the great report and all the wonderful photos. Hope your shoulder is healing.

I hoping to spend some time in Humphreys Basin next summer, this makes me more excited for that trip

I'm pleasantly surprised to see that there are still chunky brookies in the Humphreys Lakes (or one of them). I fished that lake in 1987 and it appears the size range hasn't changed that much

GB seems to have a multi-decade fishing database (in his head?) --- impressive
