Last years planned trip to Mongolia had to be cancelled. But this year I made it. There is something very intriguing about this vast country. Just slightly smaller than Alaska and with a population density of less than 1 person per square mile, under the great Khan it ruled much of the world. Today with its vast mineral deposits and strategic location between China to the south and Russia to the north Mongolia is re-emerging onto the world stage. These photos barely begin to capture this immense land and the fishing opportunities...
This summer STREAM SIDE ADVENTURES was able to guide seven anglers to complete their quest for the Wyoming CutSlam. The CutSlam is a challenge to catch and release each of Wyoming 4 species of Cutthroat Trout, the Yellowstone, Bear River, Fine Spot, and the Colorado River. Congratulations to Fred Sharp, Connie Cooper, Gerlof Van de Berg, Maria Clark, Todd Humphrey, Jerry Knight and Travis Knight for joining the elite group of anglers who have completed the challenge.

This summer we were exploring a new stream, while actually an irrigation ditch, for Colorado Cuts. We found some Cuts but even better were the arborglyphs we found.
Arborglyphs are carvings of names, dates, or images into tree bark. A recent carving of a heart with E. C. and B. D in the middle is an example. The ones we found were older and often more involved. Most were high up in the mountains in a relatively open area near a pass. Our arborglyphs were carved by sheepherders. Originally they were Basques. Now most of the shepherds are either Mexican or Peruvians. Bur they still are practicing this art form. View more arborglyph pictures...
While the fishing is the primary reason for joining us on a summer adventure, the opportunity to view some of the breathtaking scenery, the flowers and the wildlife is an added attraction.

High water levels from this summers extended runoff made the fishing tough this summer. But specializing in the higher elevation small streams, STREAM SIDE ADVENTURES was able to find and catch quality trout. Check out some of our fish.
