With no meals. “We would either catch fish or be hungry.” They rarely went more than a day without food, eventually finding fish in one of the Uintas’ hundreds of lakes. The
A fairly average-looking run on a stream. Or is it? I’d been fishing a small native cutthroat trout stream in eastern Idaho, and came upon what, at first blush, looked to be a fairly featureless stretch of stream. But, as I got closer, I noticed a few things. The long “slick,” as I’ve taken to
