Ah, to be fly fishing in the Rocky Mountain West. Montana, Wyoming, Idaho; the words literally tickle the tongue, and if you add Yellowstone National Park the imagination takes wings and soars. Breathes there a trout angler with soul so dead who never to himself has said ? “I want to go fishing out West.”
This is hands down the best synopsis of fishing in a given locale I have ever read. No punches pulled, no fluff. Thank you for this article. I will be saving it.
This is a really good unvarnished description of what the visiting angler is going to confront when coming to SE Idaho or SW Montana, and that little corner of NW Wyoming.
Fortunately, for those of us who live here, there is another reality, which beats that other one three ways from Sunday.
