The Yellowstone River emerging from Hayden Valley. I briefly hooked and then lost a very nice cutthroat trout here, just a few yards downstream of the boundary above which no fishing is allowed. I wasn't even planning to fish, just stopped to take this picture and saw the big trout rising rhythmically to Paraleptophlebia duns. It was too much to pass up.  From the Yellowstone River in Wyoming.
