Day 2 Lower Yellowstone River

Postby Stan Wright » Mon Aug 22, 2011 5:06 pm

Hopper-tunity... knocked all day long.
The rainbow trout were hammering the grasshoppers.

We saw eagles, geese, turkey, ospray, sandhill cranes, deer,
buffalo... and lots of rainbow trout.

We lost a lot more than we caught.

One fish I've never seen before... a Yellow Eye.
The Montana Tarpon. That thing was jumping all over the place.

I fished the Tenkara rod all day... it got a real workout
on those 12 to 18 inch Yellowstone River rainbows.

Goldeye - the freshwater 'poon.

A related species to the mooneye we have in Ontario, they are fun on the fly :D I tried to find them in Alberta but they were on the spawning run way upstream of where we fish. :roll: :cry:
Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear.

I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger than they really are.

Life List: 386 species and counting
