Fishing outside of the valley

I managed to hightail it out of Jackson yesterday morning
and meet up with my friend Leon. Leon resides in a slightly
warmer part of Wyoming (if there is such a place), and is a
nymphing master. He doesn’t believe in strike indicators, which
is refreshing in this day and age where bobbers have become an
accepted accoutrement on the end of a fly line. He’s taught me a
lot over the years about short line nymphing and fooling brown
trout with his trademark fly creations. We had a great time
catching up and fooling a few fish. I hope to fish with him a few
more times before the runoff begins. Here’s a brown that fell for
my Leggy Bastard….
