Meanderings

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

I Finally . . .

 . . . Made it back to the MO.  Its been a whole year, not counting the quick visit at flood stage in July.  Things appear to be back to normal.  Fish rising all morning to tricos and some little BWO's, a pause in the afternoon when the wind came up, and a bit of an evening rise again until sunset.   I even saw some big PMD's this afternoon, but never saw a fish eat one. Fish were podded up late this morning in some select spots.  Weeds are here, more than the fishing reports would lead on.  Missouri River Slap is in full effect.  Flow @4,680 is just wadeable in a few spots, but too high for some of the better ones, as expected.  Maybe next year we'll see 3,000, or 2,000.  In the meantime, I think I'll take up residence for a few days.  Its warm, and the fish are up and eating.  Disneyland is open.
Wadeable "money" hole.

Eatin' this one good in the pods under the bridge

Fly of the Afternoon for sure.

There was an afternoon pod here

Last Fish

Look who made an appearance.  Never saw one get ate.
