Chief and the Fair Maiden in YNP and Paradise Valley, MT


The Chief and his Fair Maiden recently terrrorized the trout in YNP and Paradise Valley. Arriving in Cooke City, MT on August 4 after an arduous drive over the Beartooths, this handsome couple unpacked their bags at the Elk Horn Lodge. The fishing conditions were arduous and were found not to be as reported by the once popular Blue Ribbon Flies Newsletter. Only a few PMD's and not a single Gray Drakes were seen. The lack of bugs proved only to be a slight hinderance as they simply hammered the trout in Soda Butte Creek. Trout Lake and Slough Creek were also on the week's agenda. The couple then headed to Paradise Valley to float the Yellowstone River and wade fish DePuy Spring Creek and Mill Creek.


Montana beers and ales were sampled as well as the local cuisine. The Chief soaked in Chico to avoid buttocks boils. Full reports will be provided.
