However the photos labeled " Elk in the Trees" & "Elk in the Trees 2" are
mislabeled. That's a Mule Deer doe in the picture, not an elk.

You better clean up those spectacles Bob...I think that Mule deer buck would
be ****ed if he knew you were calling him a doe...

How's the "O", shaping up after the big run off this spring...?

You're right. That's part of the reason I quit deer hunting some years ago -
only hunt elk now (besides my wife loves elk meat, but dislikes deer meat).
Those little bucks are too hard to pick out in heavy timber.

The "O" has been fairly spotty fishing this year. The fish are still there,
but its been difficult to determine what they may be feeding on at any given
time. Most of the silt and heavy algae growth was cleaned out by the high
water, so most of the bugs that depended on those conditions and provided
consistent hatches (e.g. Callibaetis & Midges) are pretty much gone. The
species of bugs that depend on clean gravel are still recolonizing, and any
given species shows only sporadically. I expect things to stabilize by next
spring & to have excellent fishing conditions.
