Even the Hound is thinking 'what the fuck?'

Is that an INL trout?

Went to check out some skinny water. Wouldn't normally Hotspot but I think this was a pretty cool collaboration that benefits us regular joes. And it's a bit rough to get into and I've only seen one person in 5years. Also I didn't catch shit and something was breaking a fuckload of branches causing an early departure with the dogs.

New river, same game. Been up here a couple of times this week anticipating the arrival of the big bugs. Today I saw the first adult! Actually I saw caddis, pmd's, a golden stone, and a salmon fly. It is basically a bug buffet right now.


Dry fly fishing was a bit slow, nymphing was really good. Hoping that changes in the next few days as I'm back home for the evening but I've got the camper loaded and headed out tomorrow for a week or so.


Late June in SW Montana is hard to beat if you are trout fisherman.

Cross post to RV thread.

#Vanlife and I'd like something the size of this Yakima rod vault for the top of the van. I don't fish, but I want something for skis and extra stuff up top. The problem I'm facing is getting something under 20" wide (or so) as the AC is mounted in the center of the van and makes it hard to mount a normal width ski box. I did get my normal Yakima box up there, but it was hanging over the back by at least 18", maybe more, die to having to mount it so far back behind the AC unit.

Any ideas? Rod box, 10" tall and 6-7' long would be ideal. But they also seem trendy now, so $$$$, and I'm cheap. This Yakima rod box has terrible reviews, but the dimensions seem right.

Fun day today, picked up a 5hp Tohatsu off Facebook Marketplace. Gamechanger, trolled around streamers on Strawberry. Didn’t hit much till the afternoon, then killed it. My kid acts like he can’t row, but he can pilot an outboard,

We caught enough rainbows to put some into the freezer, I love the food saver vacuum packer.

Once again, on this morning at first light. I'm an early morning person anyway so this hatch is perfect for me.





This river doesn't give up nice fish on the dry easily. But I got a decent one today. Size 6 salmon fly.





Had a gallery interested in what we were doing.





And around camp we have a couple interesting birds. This is the Eastern Kingbird. It migrates from the Texas and Mexico.





Gonna get a little later start tomorrow as I have guests coming in from out of town. What an awesome time of year.

More amazing pictures, no wonder you have a gallery admiring your fishing. Thank you for sharing Swimmy!

Nice Swimmy. Killing it.

I won't bother posting my dinks but I loaded up the dogs and been putting on some miles and dunking a line in some less busy water. Fucked up my gate opening date so I took long way around. Bout to head to another camp after a (not) 5 dollar burger. Great time of year to live in Montana.

Fucked up my gate opening date

I did the same thing a few weeks ago. I was two days early. Went back and made it happen though.







Did a quick stint in Boblandia. Bob was not there.





Lumpy was there.



Heading to the Gunnison Gorge tomorrow for a 3-day float. Might be some samminfries, might be some rain, will be some good times.

[lifelinksplit]

I was 4 days early. Tried to convince the FS trucks to just let me in but for some reason they wouldnt....go figure, lol.

Still wandering around. Had a pretty intense thunder/lightning storm last night. Put on a good show but rain blew out the already high creeks, oh well. Gonna go check a different lake and creek in a few minutes.

Couple more from the past few days.

That shot of the salmonfly withe eggs is rad and disgusting at the same time!

Walter is unimpressed with my dink slaying abilities...
