Terry I vaguely remember fishing with you as well.
This is really not a secret spot (or spots) by any stretch of the imagination. I’ve followed or caught up to many others here and I have also cleaned up my share of bottles, line, fly’s and line from these spots. I’ve seen my share of boot prints and talked to some good folk a various parking places along this river. Just this last trip I ended up with 6 or so extra fly’s in my box and one was a nice big white streamer that was just left hanging from a tree. (Very easy to recover????) Further up at another pool someone lost the same style white streamer in a tree but this one is very hard to get at. (I’ll find a way to free it).
The reasons I like this stretch of river. (Not in any order)
• The Mountains
• The Drive
• The picky Cutts
• The super cold water
• The Bears
• Moose and other animals
• The couple of fallen logs I like to sit at.
• Fishing with friends and getting them into there first Cutts or Bulls
• Watching some really good anglers get schooled by the same picky Cutts
• Getting schooled myself (12 fly changes to get one 13” Cutt LOL)
I'm just glad I live where I live.
