Out West

The low water and slow fishing in these parts has me pining for western waters with its spectacular scenery and accomodating (sometimes) fish. Herewith a few scenes from a 2006 trip to Wyoming and Montana.

Nice job with the photos Matt. I would love to hit that stretch of water on the Clarks’s Fork. Now if I could only get Smokey to lie next to a stream like that.

Wow, nice pics Matt. Ditto what Mike said about Clark's Fork - fishy lookin spot. I'd love to send a big ugly sculpin down there for a swim....
Looks like it was a great trip!
