Meanderings

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

The slough didn't have much for bugs or risers this morning.  Sunny and bright, with heavy Saturday mid-morning incoming.  We moved to a different Missouri River tributary.

Drove up and they were doin' it in a shallow riffle for over an hour.  All pigs.  Hangers, Cahills, emergers.  Any pmd.  A foot of water.  Quite possibly, the hottest flat in Montana at the time.  18-21 inches, all of 'em.  Some came up in the evening shadow for a couple hours or so too, but in the slower, deeper water around and behind the weed beds.  Lots of getting weeded.  More big fish today than the whole trip.

Morning slough fish.





Long walk in there!
