    That's the place.

    It looks pretty ridiculous to be honest, but I'm committed at this point. :rofl:

    Just wait until NoShaveNovember rolls around, and then you can tell people you just stopped shaving yesterday.

    EAT IT! :hungry::hungry::yes:

    Sorry, got excited there. I understand Catch & Release but if I'm restricted to that I find I don't fish much. Eating the fish you caught is a major reason I'm fishing. Certainly while camping.

    So..... Nice Trout.

    Definitely not keeping beautiful, native cutthroats. Not to mention catch and release only for native fish on that river.

    I'll keep a fish once in while, especially if they happen to be brook trout.

    Don't worry everybody, I'm a professional overlander with years of experience. My Tacoma over there is equipped with a brand new Warn winch and I fully memorized the safety manual. I even recently re-watched a recovery safety course from last years overland expo, so I'm confident we can extricate this Pontiac from the ditch. While I'm winching and blocking the road, I think it's best I turn on my amber LEDs for safety, and that we first practice proper hand signals. Good think I happened to be overlanding here, because you couldn't find a more qualified overlander to help you out of this situation.

    Or something like that. :rofl:
