The annual trip to the Smallmouth Who Eat Mice River was a smashing success. Now its dry fly action that I really get excited about. They eat like they've never seen food before
On a whim, we decided to "take a look" at the Clearwater and hope against hope that the far leading edge of the summer run Steelhead were in town.
You see, white unicorns DO exist.
Do yourself a favor and skip fishing for Steelhead over here in July. Because if you do and you luck into a fish like this silver rocket, it makes you forget all else. Wait till September or something sensible.
Yeah right. Wish I could say I followed that advice but as you can see, the pictures from July are done because no other Steelhead were caught and that's all I went for.
August
I put the two hander away for a bit for a trip to Montana's holy land of Twin Bridges. Good buddy and fishing guide Joe of Evolution Anglers was getting married and of course, there were some fish to be caught.
A beautiful day in the valley floating with Liz and Kevin followed by a beautiful day on the Big Hole at Joe and Ke'lah's wedding. We might or might not have fished the morning of their wedding.....just maybe
Also, I caught another white unicorn.
Tune in tomorrow for The Fay Clave of September an October's guns of fall
Less than a thousand of those unicorns left in that there river...
