Perfect day but no 21 inch cutt today

I was fishing at 7000- 7500 feet so no snow at all. I hiked up only about a half mile as I knew there where many deeper slower holes up there. The way the stream fished I probable didn't need to bother with even that little hike as most fish (including these 2) weren't just in the slower deeper holes. Usually by mid May the bigger fish leave the upper reaches of this stream. I think the cutts come up to spawn and the browns come to feed on their eggs. I think the spawn is over and maybe because the higher water they feel safe hanging out longer. I'm sure they'll be going down into the hard to access canyon as the water drops.
