Sunsets over the Henry’s Fork at TroutHunter are stunning
It was another spectacular week in September at TroutHunter on the Henry’s Fork. This was our 8th year hosting a group there and we’ve come to think of all the staff and guides there as family. In fact we even arrived early this year to attend the wedding of one our guides who has become a dear friend of ours over the years.
As always, the scenery was top notch and the fishing was about as good as you could imagine for six days. I think everyone had a day when the fishing was little tougher than other days, but at the same time there were at least one or two in the group who had a standout day everyday. We’ve put together some of our favorite photos to show off the incredible fishing and scenery from an unforgettable week.

Great photos. I can’t how much your kids have grown.
Ian says
We know! Old enough to handle a fly rod without any assistance any more.
