Canyon at Slough Creek

I fished with some good Montana friends today, Jordan and Tito. They came up to the RV park and Michelle and I made them breakfast, my famous fried egg sandwiches. We got the map out and decided to fish the canyon section of Slough Creek from the Lamar River upstream to the lower meadow, a section none of us had ever fished before. We all caught a bunch of willing Rainbows and I caught one Cutt-bow... It was awesome to see the guys again. We had a great time and learned some new water.

      A rare sight Wolves are ..... best enjoyed from a distance.... Although there is something great about seeing them on foot living free in the wild I do love.

Tying the Found Link (by Kelly Galloup)

I really like this Mayfly pattern. I played around at the vise this morning and tied a few. Here's one I tied as a PMD on a #14 1xl dry fly hook. It doubles as a spinner and an upright winged Mayfly. The upright wing is also used as a sighter for us old guys and when viewed from the bottom it looks like a spinner.
