Great catch!
I used to think the wind was bad there, until I fished with my son outside of Cheyenne Wyoming last week! 35 mph sustained with gusts over 50, crystal clear sky. My rod was
laying on a table and got blown onto the ground. We found a small bluff and some trees that we could get in front of and managed to catch a half dozen trout with spots (rainbows
).
