Another visit to Parks Fly Shop in Gardiner, MT.
Walt was in because of heavy rain the other day and the impact on local rivers.
Tying one of his hot pink, folded wing Caddis.
Took a while to drive through the Park up from West Yellowstone to the North Entrance as the bison really slowed things down.
Swarming Caddis along the bank.

That last pic of the caddis is way cool....
The Green Hornet strikes again!!!
Last morning to fish. Returned to the Madison at the West Fork.
Caught a couple nice browns on a size 16 X-Caddis
On the way back from the Madison, I stopped at Blue Ribbon Flies in West, and watched Craig Matthews tying Iris X-Caddis flies for Fall
Also stopped at Slide Inn. Kelly showed me a photo of HALF of the 41 inch Brown someone caught a week or so again.
And I thought my son's brown in Patagonia was large....
Stopped at Quake Lake overlook. Hope this is legible.

That turnaround look. Bulls check out red/orange in a bullfight. I know the dude doesn't want to get run over by a car, but orange...with bulls...?
Bulls are color blind. I assume the same is true of bison.
They think a bear or eagle halved the brown? Or the harvester?
Actually, i think Kelly did. He is going to mount it. Probably was too long to manage in his freezer.
Gotcha. When I first glanced I thought it was a wild story, not just a big fish story. Thanks!
