A new area

Me and scott met at am and headed east to the mountains. we were hitting an area that neither of us had been to before, it did not disappoint. we started our hike around the lake at 7:15. the  stream looked great and once we rigged up with some hoppers we jumped on in. the fish didnt start making their presence known until about after the first hour and once they did the fishing never slowed down. a good portion of the day scott fished up one side and i, the other and it was none stop action. had we gone up there expecting big fish i think we would have been disappointed but most of the mountain streams are not littered with big fish so we got what we expected, 6-8 inch cutties and brookies with the bigger fish reaching 13 inches. we did land quite a variety though, brooks, cutts, a whitefish, a grayling, a cuttbow and a couple that scott thought were maybe tigers. i couldnt tell because they didnt look like tigers or brookies. we got back to the jeep at a little after 5. on our way out we selcted the scenic drive instead of the main road. it was a quite slow and very scenic and at one point we stopped, hiked up a hillside to a ridge to get a bit more even with the opposite ridge for some scenic shots.
