Well, it is 10 degrees in Twin and my season is over. It was the good the bad and the ugly with wet big water til July and then finally some good fishing. In fact some great hopper fishing which is the best and some spruce moths on the Big Hole and small stream dry fly fishing, and then days throwing streamers at big trout!. It is all very good .
A few pics.

Thank you. It is so wonderful to have the chance to get to know this countryside and these rivers. And there are some damn good people as well.
From my Journal
Summer comes slowly to big rivers
Charged by snowmelt and rain
We are anxious thinking of it all
Then it is more than we wanted
Nothing to do but accept natures gifts
She rearranges the rivers at will
Nothing is the same even tailwaters
Flow large and long and move strucure
Finally they settle to their new form
Old lessons now must be relearned
Summer only starts when Autumn shows
Our treasured season will not last
Unless Indian Summer arrives and lingers
Surely that will be what happens to this
Or will Winter fly quickly through the hills
Leaving us with the lost days gone by
And with only the wistful hope for next
But hope is still alive for these riverstalkers
It will last and only be more than we have known
Gin clear over washed gravels graded by fast water
As mountain tops once again grow white crest
Beautiful. I'd like to go chase elk in those hills in the last picture. bd;0
Great pics f the countryside and scenery. Much appreciated!
Thanks.
