Nice Warm Fall Day on MO

Took advantage of the nice weather and cheap gas and drove up to the MO around Craig, MT. Pink lighting bug or a pink Ray Charles was the hot fly. Here are a couple of piggy BOWs.

Fall on the Upper Madison

Went with a couple of my buddies up to the Upper Madison. It was a great Fall day. The egg was the best fly of the day. However, I did get lots of little fish on a shop vac.

Surprise Brown caught in a small skinny side channel.

Nice colored up Brown egg eater.

Saw this old man brown all spawn out, not sure if he was going to make it. Took an underwater pic of him. We saw lots of big dead browns, the skinny water has not been good this year. They had to really lower the river after the dam failed this year.

Bighorn River, MT Election Day 2008

My Dad and I decided to leave the election chaos and head over to the Bighorn River for a few days (Nov. 2-4). The river was green and had about 1 to 2 feet of viz. The fishing was a bit slow for the Bighorn, however it was still not so bad, as you can seen from the pictures. The quantity of catching was down, but the quality was up. Another big plus was the Bighorn was void of the typical crowds this place endures during the summer months.
