I picked almost 100lbs this season and 30lbs of smooth golden nuggets yesterday. Kept some to enjoy and share with friends but hope the rest brightens up some kitchens with wild culinary delight.

Our final leg of the trip was in Idaho and we had plans for more hiking and hot pooling at Iron Creek and Goldbug trailheads but temps were uncomfortably high. Instead we enjoyed some roadside hot springs along the drive and then spent time exploring Ketchum, Idaho. I caught lots of rainbows in the Big Woods River and a few in the Snake. Lots more fishing opportunities available there for a future trip, I especially liked the Lost River but didn't have time to fish it. There were plenty free or 20$ campsites in the area if you want basic bathrooms. Hotels are $300+
We took a 20+ lakes loop in the Uintas of Utah that started at Bald Mountain and ended at Crystal Lake trailhead. Made camp at Ibantik Lake and caught a few small beautiful brook trout. The brookies are non-native out west and encouraged keepers.
Had a Wet & Wild Whitewater Adventure on the Weber River in Utah. Thanks @pcskidiot and @gribbina for guiding the crew.
Sacred time with my wife and dog in the 6 million acre Adirondack Wilderness. Enjoying one of our favorite of the 3,000 lakes and ponds within the "blue line".
Back at it hunting mushrooms. The rain and heat flushed out some chicken and oyster within the mighty oak swamp.
