The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.

Two major forks of this grayling stream come together in this pretty pool.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or support the project for an enhanced experience here.

FYI...

Any College guys looking to spend your summer on the fabled Madison River near West Yellowstone, MT there are a couple of openings at Campfire Lodge Resort. Includes room, meals and a salary. (If I were in college I would go for it in a flash!)

I am doing some web work for the new owner Jim Slattery and he mentioned he his looking for a summer help, so I thought about posting it here. The river is awesome and the scenery is spectacular!

See www.CampfireLodgeWestYellowstone.com to learn some more about the lodge. The web site is still under construction as Jim has time to gather and send me the info. You can call Jim at(406) 646-7258, if interested.

I actually work at a campground in the summer, heck I would rather work at that Campground and be flyfishing all the time then be at the one I'm at now.

I will be looking for a summer job once the first summer session of college is out here. But that is a far drive for me.
