Meanderings

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

Schooled on Henry's Fork

Tricos on the Ranch.  Right.  But its fun to try.  Some fish did come up and eat for a short while in the mornings and evenings.  I cast to some big heads, 20-inchers.  A few of them ate.  I even hooked a few too, but never actually touched one.  Long 6x tippets, thick weeds, and seasoned fish lower the odds.  A little luck would have helped, but I lost fish just about every way you can.  I'd do it again, and will in a few weeks, only with tiny baetis and "jumbo" mahoganys instead of tricos.
Tricos Every Morning


This place had a few big risers every morning

Visible black wing against that Ranch light glare, and they ate it.



Evening risers on the lower

This brought up more than anything, a #16, that I could see, and they went after it.
