esleech Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Fished the Oldman on wednesday. I guess I got lucky, as I heard about the closure on the way home, and had decided to fish there last minute. I got there quite early, and was able to get the first fish by 7 a.m. or so. On the way, I happened to get lucky and see 6 nice mulies feeding on the side of the road. Anyways, While fishing a rather large pool, I happened to catch some movement out of the corner of my eye. Well, I'm just happy the "movement", was more occupied with a patch of berries and not me. Seeing as he was on the far side of the pool and oblivious to my presence, I moved away behind some rocks, and snapped a few shots. Not the biggest bear, but could still fudge you up pretty good. Anyways, fishing shut off to an extent around 11 a.m., and I counted 14 people between the gap and racehorse!? Pretty crazy, I'm glad the fish are getting a break. Finished the day off, at somewhat of a "secret" stretch, and hooked a few NICE fish on a #18 lime sally, but missed em all. Enjoy the shots guys.

yodatrout Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grannyknot Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Nice pics mang, and great timing! From the area you described, I'll bet that's the same "little" black bear I've run into a few times down there. I certainly never had the cojones to stop and take pics though.

Hawgstoppah Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Wow. Nice bear pics. I'm glad you kept your cool As a sidenote fellas.... you should see all the wildlife in odd places down into montana right now. Near ran into a huge herd of elk out on the prarie. That fire's got 'em messed up pretty bad. Also saw a big ol' black like that size near Duck lake as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
