Cutbow Trout

Caught a few nice trout, the largest of which was a 23” cutbow that bent the hook on my VMC Sleek jig head. One little bass to make it a multispecies day. At sunset I saw an interesting phenomenon. The low angle of the sun filtering through the clouds (and probably smoke particles) caused horizontal daggers of light. When sunlight creates rays downward through clouds we’ve always called them “angel rays” which are common, but these horizontal ones were kind of unusual.

Just a few pic from today day small trout season ;)

Took my wife out in the two-seater kayak. She crushed it with a 24-inch cutbow! It had a huge girth too; I’d guess at least 7 pounds weight! I was guiding her, so I’ll add it to my running count of Colorado master angler sized trout (now 11 in the past month), but it was certainly her catch and she did a great job staying calm and playing it to the net! Definitely her PB fish. I caught a smaller one!
