Notes

The usual awesome, early season fish slaughter.
Started with an Adams, caught a few, same on EHC. It turned into a frenzy once I put on the PT dropper. Literally every cast caught a fish. Small to medium, colorful bows. VERY aggressive!
Fished a little pool at a tree-free meadow, even filmed it and put on YouTube.
Also saw my first moose - damn scary.
Tried fishing Cooper Basin and Wildhorse below but water WAY to fast and high.
As usual, one of the most beautiful places in Idaho
