John, I fished Nilan Reservoir, like I said, from a float tube. I and another tuber were fishing dries during a pretty heavy caddis hatch around the dam. We both hooked up pretty regularly on small trouts. I believe I used EHC and an Adams parachute. The Dearborn where the road crossed it (Dearborn Canyon Road) was kind of slow. I went up and down the river bank on both sides while Debbie sat and wrote in her journal. I encountered a doe wading across the river at one point. We did see lots of dear and some antelope along the road on the drive out in the evening. You are fortunate to live so close to the Front. It's a 2 day drive for me to even get close.
The only bear we saw in Montana was the one stuffed at the ranger station in Lincoln. I had read the story about it earlier in the year. It was a pretty good size griz.
I saw more deer in the fields between Augusta and Sims when I went to fish the Sun, than I saw in Yellowstone NP.
It's definitly pretty country. Thank you so much for all the stories and photos. Jim
I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim
