Meanderings

Stalking trout with dry flies. Floating, wading, and camping along the rivers. Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Winter trips to Mexico.

Tributary

Main river got dirtier yesterday, and the slough cleared from its chocolate milk color yesterday morning.  Both didn't fish that well yesterday, but this morning the slough had cleared, by its own standards.  Had to give it a try.  Fish were all cookie-cutters out of the same mold.  Decent PMD's at 10:30, but the fish never really got on them.  I had to walk up and down a lot to find a rising fish.  They all ate though, every one of them!  Nice send-off  from this valley.

That first peek around the corner going upstream

The bend formerly known as Pennsylvania Corner

New trail on the "wrong" side of the creek



Same caddis worked well

Shined for a PMD

For a couple picky ones







In south Florida we used to call it snook-thumb.  After a few days in this valley, its brown trout thumb.  Not lipping them like a snook, but some of them just get ya.
