Lay-Z-Day!
Today is one of those "Lazy Days" in camp...
Last night I met up with a fellow turkey hunter and NWTF award winning call maker - Marlin Watkins here in Gardiner. He showed me some of his turkey box calls and I ran them a bit as we sat and talked turkey in front of the Great Western where he was staying. Super calls and a super guy. We had a PBR and shared fishing and turkey hunting tales well into the evening...
This morning Michelle and I slept in then went out to the "Two Bit Saloon" for brunch.... Can you say "breakfast burrito"? Oh Yeah...
Back at camp things slowed way down to -
Montana speed...
Michelle says things will speed up later with pizza on the grill, followed by a game of Dominos...
Why Dominos? To avoid playing Gin!
My book choice is "No Shortage of Good Days" by John Gierach, an appropriate title for this vacation to say the least.
The two flies are a deadly combo with the Split-tail used as the top fly and the Go2 trailing 14 inches or so tied off the bend of the hook...
Korn's Split-tail Golden Stone Fly
--- See earlier post for the tying instructions.
My version of the Go2 Prince by Rick Takahasi, you can find tying instructions by googling it...
