Each fall VEE and I spend a week in Idaho at the Lowell Fish-In. Enjoy the wonderful scenery, fishing and company. Then we head back to Western WA. The ride to Lewiston is pretty, along the Clearwater, not too mauch traffic. Always stop in at The Red Shed to see Poppy and pick up some materials we just can’t live without. The it’s on the road home. By the time we hit I-90 I think everyone on the road is crazy, after a few miles on the super highway I am positive everyone on the highway is completely nuts, and I’m longing for the tranquility of Idaho.
Now you jokers show me these pics and start the longing all over again. I think I’ll have a cup of coffee and wax my bamboo rods.

This creek is all wild trout and fishes well most of the year - but it really rocks in April.
Typical brookie is 6-8". I heard tell of a 17" brookie, but I have my doubts.
Typical bow is 8-12". A friend of mine told me he took a 17" bow, and I trust him.
Take your choice - dries, wets, nymphs, streamers. IF the fishing ever slows down, you might even remember to take a look around. The view to the east is just as good.
Wildlife commonly seen in the area includes large herds of antelope, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, moose, elk, and deer.

Daggum name dropper! I saw a bamboo rod once.
Tell VEE you need a project, I’m sure she’ll think of something.
Again, HOMESICK!!
But, just a suggestion my friend… when ya’ take a fish off your den wall and photograph it like ya’ did in post #7, pic #1, do a better job of hide’in the dang BOARD it’s already been mounted to!

Close John. I saw a picture in one of your other posts that looked like it might be the same place. Right next to the road.

You must be referring to the one I posted on Fishing Reports ??
That place is about eleven miles from home. Takes all of 30 minutes from the time I decide to go to get my gear together and be on the water - except when there are a couple of feet of snow to tromp through.
The place you posted has to be the best part of forty miles from here. Haven’t fished up there much. Usually stick closer to home, or head out to the mountains.

Thought I saw another pic that you posted on the SF. Looked like the same area as the pic I posted. Lots of places look similar on the SF, but you can’t mistake the mountains in the background.
