Meanderings

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

Ten Days on Silver Creek July 16-25 (95-105 cfs)

I love the challenge, despite the rejection.  I love the clarity, despite the spooky fish.  I love long, light tippets, despite the "wind" knots.  I love small flies, even if I can't see the bastards half of the time.  The hatches are short, but usually thick, and they bring up pods of noses on this most difficult spring creek.  Tricos in the morning, and PMD's late afternoon through evening.  Its a fitting end to a 5-week swing through my favorite waters.



Trico Hatch!









Afternoon Waders


























The best little trico, and old school, just dubbing and hackle.

A re-discovered creek, for later.














This shed had rattles, as did a couple others I came across.
