Meanderings

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

Idaho

Waiting for the snow to melt in Montana.  It's warmer here, a little anyway.  The O is still high, wasn't happening.  The other two are happening a little, at times, when the wind stops.  Not for long.
Low and Clear

PMD's in the House!




Windy

Well Received


Great pre-hatch




For the BWO's

A favorite drift


Slashing eats on the Mahogany late afternoon

All over the damn place

Last known photograph taken on Silver Creek.  He wasn't happy.

  1. Jim: Looks like you are catching even with some adverse conditions. Past 3 Octobers here have been winter like, even worse, High Winds, day after day, and weak Baetis hatches. I'm going to have to re-think saving vacation time for this time of yr and just take it in the summer instead. Good luck with rest of trip and Tarpon angling.

  2. Ya, I miss summer, and it was pretty short this year. But it's definitely less crowded now. Trade-offs. Today, with the water covered in BWO's and not another fisherman in sight (On the MO no less!), I was imagining warm hands and PMD's. And the damn wind . . . Its been blowing every day for the last few weeks, except during today's snow flurries. Water is lowest its been all year. No runoff. Trade-offs. Sure miss the long days and multiple sessions. Trade-offs. Fish both seasons!
