SanJuanWorm Posted June 19, 2007 Author Posted June 19, 2007 Very cool. Americans scare me though! Try marrying one. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 19, 2007 Author Posted June 19, 2007 I washed all my gear the night before driving home. The Islander needs grease bad for the drag. Quote
toolman Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Ahhh...bottom draw dam...stable temps. Thanks. Quote
Brownstone Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 That'd explain the abundance of algae...cool... Quote
Brownstone Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Very cool. Americans scare me though! Did'nt Bowie write a song about that? Quote
LynnF Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 The colours on those fish are awesome. Sounds like you had a great trip and with the C$ being almost at US$ par I bet that $375 was an easy pill to swallow. Well worth the money if you ask me - and as you've well found out. Cold water huh....I'll skip the shrinkage question If you're after some good grease for the reel, get some stuff called "Hot Sauce". That stuff kicks ass. Took our 5+ year old unmaintenanced and trashed reels and turned them into brand new this year. Quote
birchy Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Great report SJW!! And great pictures! Those fish are gorgeous. I think maybe CDock and I are going to have to start thinking about making a Montana trip. The topic has come up before actually. Curious how much the whole trip cost you including gas, food, and accomodations? Just so I have an idea. You can PM me if you want. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 19, 2007 Author Posted June 19, 2007 Whole trip of 3 days was less than 1000 bucks USD. Worth every penny. Quote
cdock Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Sweet dude! Great pics. Looks like a great trip. Quote
clarki Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 wow! 50+ fish and without the blue sweater??!!! M Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 19, 2007 Author Posted June 19, 2007 The blue sweater was in the boat if I needed it. Quote
monger Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Dave, last time I was there we met some dudes from the east coast who were carrying they're .44 pistols because they were in Montana grizzly country. Pretty funny since the Bighorn flows through an area more like Vulcan than the Crowsnest. Quote
snakeman Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Gorgeous fish, awesome report. Looks like a very fertile stream. Nice little reality check for some of us that the Bow isn't the center of the rainbow/brown universe. Quote
reevesr1 Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Very cool. Americans scare me though! Watch it esleech or I'll send an ICBM screaming towards you! I used to work on Submarines and still have some high level contacts! Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 19, 2007 Author Posted June 19, 2007 Rick u know where I can order this? Kiddin buddy. Quote
kungfool Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Great post SJW! I had no Idea the big horn had that many trout per mile. As far as I knew the Bow had more. Simply amazing. Quote
