Meanderings

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

MO-the rest of the week (8,000-6500)

The water continued to drop around 500 cfs a day.  The PMD hatch began to wane, and the afternoon fishing was better than the morning, and the evenings were better than the afternoons.  On the 28th and 29th, it was pretty tough all day except for the last couple of hours.  Fish beat to death coupled with declining pmd's left short windows in selected spots.  The afternoon float was pretty good on the 25th and 26th though.  Bank and channel feeders loving the spinner.   Caddis were also being eaten, especially in the afternoons and evenings.  Broke an oar lock on the boat on the last float day, but came up with a fix using an extra strap to row the last couple miles.  Always carry a couple extra straps!

Last fish, last cast, last evening!
