Another good fly fishing season has drawn to a close here at Teton Fly Fishing. Thanks to everyone who fished with me this year. Below are a few pics from the fall.
I went up to Helena MT a few weeks back and picked up a new Adipose Skiff. It’s resting comfortably in the garage awaiting spring. Excited to fish out of it even though it’s essentially the same as my last one.
In the coming months I’ll continue to do a few winter fly fishing trips here and there. The Snake allows for year round fishing and it isn’t uncommon to spend a few hours wade fishing on it and fool a few fish. Additionally, I’m back in the classroom, substitute teaching. It’s nice to see familiar staff and students.
Kevin and I work a rising fish on the Yellowstone River. While the Yellowstone in the Park is a quality not quantity fishery, it’s an amazing place to spend a day. Geysers, bison and the occasional trophy Yellowstone cutthroat trout make is special.Korey, Kevin’s son brought this beauty to the net. These guys have been fishing with me for years and it was fun to show them this special water. We missed some nice fish and it was awesome to finally get one in!Bill hooks his first fish on the Firehole River. He’s fished with me before but this was his first time fishing in Yellowstone. We had a great fall day swinging soft hackles and, as the day warmed, twitching hoppers.One of many fine spotted snake river cutthroat trout Terri caught. She and her husband joined me for a fun day in September. There is no where I’d rather be than floating the Snake in the fall.George caught his (and my) white whale. Jamie and I managed to sneak away to Yellowstone for three days. Here she is showing off a cutthroat trout from Slough Creek. Slough is one of the coolest places I’ve fished- slow water, selective fish made for a fun day. Kurt hooked up with a snake river cutthroat trout. In October fish like to pod up in the shallow riffles. Once bugs start hatching it can be a free for all. My client and friend, David, joined me for my last float of the season. We had a great day despite the cold. As temperatures warmed, the dry fly fishing really picked up.David and I are all smiles after a great day on the water!Lulu poses with the new Adipose Flow skiff. She and I made the round trip drive to Helena to pick it up, leaving Jackson at 5:30 am and arriving back home with the new boat at 4:45 pm. We were road warriors.
