Road trip out west


Recommended Posts

Fished a bit yesterday, but all my stream plans went to crud with the rain... Google took me on a goat rodeo into the middle of nowhere as well wasting a few hours of my precious fishing time.  

In the end it was a beautiful place to fish but fishing heavy fast run off that was like chocolate milk was about what you'd expect. 

We rolled into Cody WY around 11 last night. Passed a ton of good looking water coming in but that will have to wait for a true fishing trip out here.  The Tensleep Canyon was amazing though and reminds me about why I love the west out here. 

Up and after them today. Heading into Yellowstone and hope to have a better game plan for my fish time on the fire hole river today. 

Pics will be later,  service is spotty...

              Are you going to be in the Cody area for a couple days? When you are ready to catch fish text or call me.

Won't be back in Cody.  We're starting in west Yellowstone tonight then south tomorrow down into Utah, then cut through Colorado on familiar water.

We did a ton today.   Saw grizzly right by car,  Buffalo right by us too.  Some elk and mulies too.  Fished a small spring and saw just a few fish.  Hiked down off the highway and slogged through the marsh and started stripping a black wooly bugger.    Hooked into my first brook ever and was surprised by the size and the fight.

Crossed off another state and got my first Yellowstone fish.  I know it's not a native but man was he pretty. 

Fishing the Madison in the AM, then winging it down to  Jackson

Congrats on your brookie DJ. They are one of the nicest looking fish around in my opinion.
