Meanderings

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

BTL

I've generally only fished this spot in passing over the years.  It has a Green Drake hatch in June.  The water really drops from one lake to the next.  At the mouth are a few short runs that are fun to fish when you can get on 'em.

I run into a good post-rain baetis hatch on the first evening, and the mornings have a good late-morning trico hatch lasting almost until noon.  It's crowded, like everyplace that's good, but I find a place each morning and evening.  There's some good fat fish too.  And . . . No floating weeds!

Trail down to mouth







Lots this size



Baetis winner, whatever it is. Chewed up Harrop midge?
Tricos

Lots of tricos!


Magic morning slow riffle



The other magic riffle edge, main channel side, a little harder to get to.

The trico winner, easy to see, relatively.

Bank side of the lower island.

Looking upstream at the magic morning run



For the baetis, of course.
