Meanderings

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

Paradise (Picture Heavy)

They don't call it Paradise Valley for nothing.  And today . . . Sunny to filtered sunny. Perfect sight fishing light and water.  70-ish not too hot, not too cold.  Not crowded.  Midges on the water at 8am.  Trout slurping the midges until 1:30. Pods at times.  No wind.  Risers to be found for the rest of the afternoon.  Fish 'till you drop.  One of the best ever I've had here.  Dozens of eats. 
Mossy, but congregating the fish

My favorite sight-fishing trout flat in the world.

First one

F.O.D.










Good afternoon beetle bite

    1. Pretty sure I stole that one a couple years ago when you posted a picture of it. They ate it!
