November is turning into a really great month, weather wise. We’ve had sun and mild day temperatures for the last few weeks. Mornings are frosty but by 10 am the sun has taken the chill off.
This week we headed out to an old favorite, the Crooked River, to do some fishing and take some photos of the canyon in fall. Had the place to ourselves, set up the camp chairs and really enjoyed the day.
Fishing was good even got into an afternoon dry fly session. As you can tell from the post the canyon was very picturesque.
The other activity was to put up a ‘Flybrary Project’ card.
You likely saw the post on Instagram @jstv. Essentially this is a fly sharing project to encourage people to share their pastime. You can check it out at www.flybraryproject.com and if you are interested, catch an episode of ‘huge flyfisherman’ on YouTube, it’s hilarious.
Love the pics and the “watercolor”-esque filter!
Thanks so much!
Hey Jack – love this post! I especially enjoyed the “huge flyfisherman” episode. Fishing along the road system in Alaska is way too crowded, unless you are willing to drive 100’s of miles north. I refuse to fish with the crowds, I miss those times in Montana when my Dad and I would hike into Upper Chain Lake. No one there but the two of us.
We are close to a lot of good fishing spots, but they get crowded in the summer but they are only minutes away and there is year around fishing on a couple of nice streams. And yes, the hike to Chain lakes was great, we usually fished Link lake but also spent time on Red Meadow lake. I suppose they have been discovered by now. We are planning a Montana fishing trip either this summer or the next. Want to at least go by those old spots, fish the North Fork and end up back on the Gallatin river.
Link Lake was always our go to fishing/hiking trip in that area. Still plan to make it back there at some point.
