I’m sad to leave this magical place. We go out for our final morning fishing. There are guides with their clients in each of our favorite places so we walk further down the trail. I chat with a woman and her son from Minn. They tell me the cabins across the river are for rent through vrbo or Montana Anglers. It ends up being a spectacular morning as I land 1, which I am proud to say was all done myself, from set up, hook, to bring it in. It jumps away right by the net, was a large and beautiful fish. I hook 2 more before we leave. We spend some time talking to Kelly who says Jan/Feb can be good. May is deserted but the runoff is good nymphing. Mid June to mid July is dry fly season and most years busy here. Fall is hoppers.
Our next stop after lunch from Firehouse bbq is Grand Teton NP. We drive through Yellowstone which is peacefully deserted because of the floods last month. Road closures caused lots of cancellations. Funny thing is I have never seen it so void of wildlife. We are staying in the campground at the north end of the Tetons at Flagg Ranch. After setting up camp and having dinner, we head for the nearby Snake River where Ray catches a few suckers
