A Couple of Hours in the Mountains

Not exactly a stellar day for me, but I was only in the mountains for a couple of hours this morning.  I got two on and one to hand...a nice little brown trout, small but a jewel with lots of color.  I kept having to remind myself that snakes were out and to be honest, I probably didn't watch for them as closely as I should have.  It had been a couple of months since I had gone to the mountains and it was nice to see all of the scenic beauty.  On the way out, the rangers had the road in blocked...turns out someone was either being rescued or had drowned and was being recovered.  I couldn't hear enough to tell for certain.  Hopefully all are well.  The mountains can be dangerous if a person isn't careful.  A few pics from my morning:
