Lost fly rod near Bozeman

So today I took a ride up to Emerald Lake, and somewhere along the way my fly rod fell off my pack. As soon as I realized it was gone at the lake, I turned back around and rode the trail to the parking lot, hoping to see it sitting on the trail somewhere (I don't imagine a 2' rod case can fall far from a bike). Anyways, it was nowhere to be found, so now I am out a rod.

If anyone in the Bozeman area knows someone who found a rod today (7/18), please let me know! It is a 8.5' 5wt Winston Boron IIx, and it was in a green case, has chrome guides, black wraps, and an ebony reel seat. There is no writing on it anywhere, so it doesn't look like anything special at all. This was the first fly rod I ever built, so I would really like to get it back somehow.

Be sure to toss something up on CL in the lost and found area. Good luck.

Also, if anyone lost a fly box between Logan and the confluence on the Gallatin or knows anyone who did shoot me a pm and describe it and I'll get it back to you.
