55 on the fly

Michelle and I fished the high country in Yellowstone National Park today (8/27/18).... The mountain stream held some beautiful brook trout for us among it's awesome beauty.... To top it off, on the hike in we saw a lone black wolf, a big boy. I topped a rolling hill and spotted him coming our way at a hundred yards. I yelled at him and he turned and trotted the other way, we watched him for a while, quite a sight. It was Michelle's first time seeing a wolf in the wild...  We only used one fly today, the UK Ausable Bomber, yeah they work out West too... The photos tell the rest of the story. fish of the day... Ausable Bomber fly of the day... 

UK Bomber fly - the body is made with sheeps' wool that I collected from the Lake District in England..... Some folks will get to fish these flies in Montana next year for wild brook trout.... Lucky them!
