Great report Billet!. That is my favorite area to fish as well. I spend a couple weeks out there every year, unfortunately it's not going to happen this year but next year, I'll be there for sure. The Tongue river can be tough in spots but it is a really fun stream to fish. The North and Southfork are my favorites followed by the canyon section of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone. No fun at all getting in and out of the canyon but worth every effort. :grin:

Trigg,

We have only been in the canyon a bit from the bottom. Did you drop in over the side? I have peeked over the trail that drops down the side. Ronnie you will have to borrow my knees if you go. I'll keep the bald head though :)

Yep I have been up and down both trails. Neither are listed on any maps. You just need to make sure it's fishable before you make the trek down. It's really no fun to hike in and find out you can't cross the river. Unfortunately, I know from experience.

Here's a few pics

Bump :D 

            Boy that has been a few years ago. Brings back some great memories. Got a bit teary eyed reliving that trip. Sadly no trip west this year. Maybe next year If I can and if this Covid crap passes.

Yeah, nothing good for us this year either. Did a whirlwind trip to IA a couple weeks ago and got skunked the day we fished.
