If you plan to find a fish like this, I recommend finding the most rugged-looking terrain/canyon where most people won’t go and go there.. and when you feel like you’ve walked further than most would, keep hiking. This is when you will find your solitude and some of the best fishing in your life, like this Smug Idaho Bull Trout.
