Welcome back, glad to hear it went well!

Birchy, I hope your surgery goes well & you have a speedy recovery!Do they have wireless in your wing?!?!?

Schizat, I've been throwing that stuff out with every new pair of shoes for years!

Those crazy kids these days... He's 32!!

Sounds like a great trip. Did you see blockades or anything on the way out? As far as the bear goes, that's plenty big and close enough to scare the shite out of me

I listen to it all... Corb Lund Mr. Cash Bare Naked Ladies Tribe Called Quest If it's a real long drive nothing beats a good book on tape, but you have to be driving solo.

Nice!

Nice work! That's a beauty and I appreciate it more now that I've seen what it looked like after three hours!?!?! How long would you estimate it took in total?

I've only done it once, but it was with Terry from Fishtales and he set the bar real high!

I was just down in Yellowstone a couple of weeks ago. Haven't posted any of the pic's yet but it was a cool trip. Hit the Yellowstone River just outside the lake on the day it opened, pretty busy but some nice sized fish in there for sure. Also some cool views, small geysers (sp), buffalo, etc. Lot’s of anglers as well though. Yellowstone is a busy place in general. But like every where, walk far enough and the "crowds" thin immensely. I also tried the Firestone River in Yellowstone but the water was so hot I quit. I don't know what the weather's been like lately but lots of rivers had voluntary closures from noon-6 or 8 PM. The Upper Madison is also there but because of the temps I didn't even wet a line... definitely strong evidence to support my case for a return trip. In Grand Teton there is the Grade Verde or something like that. I don't know how mobile you'll be while you're there but the Snake River tail out outside Jackson (just inside Idaho) is supposed to be unreal. Yellowstone regulations are unique, can't fish before 5 or 6 AM or after 10 PM. Send me a PM if you want more info, I think I still have a copy of the reg's and some maps some where around here.

Congratulations!

I do it most of the time and have never encountered any problems. I'm pretty sure that it's not necessarily within the rule of written law though...

DBT, Sorry to hear that happened, but sounds like you handled it as well as possible. Glad the salmon eggs came in handy, bear spray might have been a good dessert. Hope the next time your hair stands on end it's because of a trout.

That's an awesome clip... I would defintely jump like that guy, probably higher. Imagine, there you are just releasing the fish you caught, contemplating things and then WHAM... drew decent blood too!

Nice pictures, looks like it was a good day to be out... stupid heavy rainfall warnings kept me in the city running errands with my wife ;(

I'm out for July 10th... still interested though

Left wing... when?

A little late but I wanted to say thanks to Greg, Max and Brad for the Bow River clinic they put on. I have yet to put the knowledge gained to the test but really enjoyed the day and it was great to meet some new flyfishermen. I hope that everyone has an awesome season on the river... with all fish taken on 26 midges! Cheers,

Nicely done!

Great fish, I can imagine the fight that beast put up!
