May 7th - "Pork Fork"

With spring quickly turning to warmer weather we had not made any trips to "Pork Fork" in Wyoming. To remedy this oversight, Jack and I took a Friday and headed up. We knew the water was going to be skinny but were hopeful that the slab rainbows would be there and available.

We got to the river around 8:30 and we were happy to see water flowing from the middle channel of the dam again. We wandered down to the pond area and starting hooking up immediately. We didn't catch a lot but the ones we caught were worth the drive up. If the run off would get going the fishing would get really good.

We started off with a quick double. You be the judge of the fish but mine is the bottom fish. Look how fat they are......
As the day went on we would have moments of quick strikes and then periods of nothing. During one period of hot action, Jack caught a 20-incher and then I caught a 21-incher. Naturally Jack followed that with a 22-incher to once again out class me with the fish. Both of us hooked and lost a few others in the deep pond area below the dam. Here are the pictures.















Here are Jack's 22-incher pics.




























After lunch at the car we decided to leave and hope for run off in the weeks to come. This is one of the coolest places to fish in the spring and I love making the trip.
