Actually, i think Kelly did. He is going to mount it. Probably was too long to manage in his freezer.

Bulls are color blind. I assume the same is true of bison.

Last morning to fish. Returned to the Madison at the West Fork.
Caught a couple nice browns on a size 16 X-Caddis

Caught some nice rainbows on the Henry's Fork in the morning, and went to the Madison in the evening above Lyon's Bridge.

We caught some nice Browns on size 16 X-Caddis flies.

Thanks MSD!

A number of pretty rainbows this morning. Not large, but very pretty. Photo doesn't do the fish justice.

My son and I fished the Gardner River, just outside the town of Gardiner.
We stopped in Parks Fly Shop.
Picked up my copy of Walt Weise's new book. It was late in the evening. Walt was not there,...

Another nice rainbow, but thinner

Larry,
I went to his shop when he owned it in Last Chance. His may have been the first one here in Last Chance. I think he was a State Senator too.
