These are some photos from my first flyfishing trip out West (I am a Central PA boy). I was offered an opportunity to fish in Wyoming and the Yellowstone National Park and I took it. These photos were taken on the Madison River. Late August 2007. Enjoy!
I wish that I had taken my digital camera instead of this disposable camera as this photo does not do this location any justice.  Twenty-two and one half inch Brown Trout  Twenty+ inch Brown Trout  Another Twenty+ inch Brown Trout (Yep, I found a Honey Hole)

Cool I am going to Montana this summer and will be on the Madison River. What flies did you use/ reccomend?

I hope you have as good of a fishing trip as I did. I was lucky enough to have found a large pod of fish. Since they weren't rising very often and weren't taking what I was offering, I had to fish sub-surface. I used various colors of sucker spawn, san juan worms, and assorted other 'junk' flies. Understanding that I fish mostly in Central PA: I would recommend that you get information from a flyshop in Montana close to the Madison River section that you will be fishing, for hatch information that time of year. Stop in their shop, be a customer, buy the flies that they recommend as ask them for some suggestions for what locations to fish. HTH DaGunn |

Super windy day on the Madison in early July
I'm chucking gigantic Salmon flies with my 4wt and I have the great idea that i'm gonna throw on a size 18 flash back pheasant tail for a dropper as I had quite a few fish come up but not take my flyI had been doing what any well natured fly fisherman does while in the middle of a 14 mile float (drinking beer) Chucked a nice long cast, had a strike, set the hook, missed the fish and here comes a size 4 Salmon fly right at my face, while I was able to dodge the Salmon fly, I forgot about the dropper and took it right to the top of the lip. I had the dropper on for about 3 casts, and since there are no hook restrictions on the Madison, hadn't pinched the barb yet. As soon as I felt it, I knew what happened, snapped my tippet off, told my friend that was rowing to pull the hell over, pass me 3 beers and the Crown Royal About 20 minutes, 3 beers and a few shots later I let my other friend have a go at it with the leather man as I was feeling good Fly came out no problem, not too much blood, I got to fish the bow of the boat the rest of the float and caught some decent fish, missed quite a few because at that point I was pretty toasted! But hey, I got a decent story and even better picture out of it! |

Well gents, I am headed off for the Colorado River today, between Vail and Aspen. Snow is in the forecast but that should keep all the weekend warriors away. I guess I picked a heck of a time to run out of Prairie Dogs to kill with my AR15 in the Texas panhandle.
If I can find them (the ol' notebook went Tango Uniform on me) I will try to post some of my pics from the Upper North Platte River, Saratoga, Wyoming from last fall. |

There were a few on the water, but the weather was cold and miserable with water temps 1-2 degrees below optimal. We did catch everything on Skwala dries, save for a couple I caught on stonefly nymphs. No whitefish this trip *phew*
We only saw 3 other fisherman the entire week, and none were floating. *well there was the family of poachers, but maybe they needed the food* Hey, I own page two!

You must sample the many flavors Idaho has to offer, lots of diversity across the state, and i'm still exploring a lot of the stuff after being here for 6 years.
I'm thinking about hitting Central WA for some fatty spring creek Rainbows Thurs. and Friday, but spawning Walleye and Smallies might trump that as I haven't taken my boat out yet this year |

Read a lot and find someone who does it. It's not that difficult. I think all the line/leader/tippet crap was the most confusing when I started. I dumbed it down a bit and went from there. Keep it simple and fun. |

You got to hit Rock Creek for a Salmonfly hatch. It's amazing. But, catching it just right is like finding a unicorn.

Ha! Just found out that ARFcom has a flyfishing section! Now I never need to leave... perfect.
 So here's my photos of the last couple years in northern MN. One of my ties (it's an easy one, I know), killer on smallmouth bass:  One of the above mentioned smallies, which come out at dusk to eat poppers:  One of the locals at my favorite brook trout hole:  Albright bar-stock aluminum cork-drag reel, Orvis "Clearwater" (cheap cheap, but it's slow and wonderful) 5wt rod:  One of the brookies from my local secret creek:  Early season brookie fishing:  The beautiful Bois Brule river in Wisconsin:  Nice brown caught that same night on the Brule:  |

We have a father/son fishing trip each year.
White River, Arkansas:  20" 'bow on the Bighorn:  My son on the "B" section of the Green River, Utah, 2008:  "A" section of the Green, just below the dam. This is one of the prettiest places I've ever fished. Stay OFF the A section on Saturdays when all the idiot rafters are out.  Lunch on the Green, 2008. This is the kind of place you forget about everything.  |

This is a 53 1/2 LB salmon I caught on a 10wt Winston BIIx using a tube fly. This was caught on the first riffle above tide water in So. Oregon. The big one got away!

I wish I could fish a few rivers more often. I got a couple chances to fish the South Fork of the Boise River while I was working in Idaho a few years ago, but never hooked up with any fish. Was still an amazing time though. Beautiful out there. First picture is a trout out of a mountain pond.
