Well then... Spent Sat and Sun in the Sunlight basin a beautiful 1500 acre wilderness area thick with conifers and loaded with small streams that feed Clarks Fork. Catching orange and red colored spawning brook trout . About 12" with hooked jaw and teeth .They looked like miniature Salmon.

Yesterday went to my beloved South Fork where I caught 3 Cuthroat 14" to 15" and 2 Brownies both wearing spawning colors one 11" and one 16" and due to using barb-less hooks lost numerous others of similar size and color.. Not bad for a coupla hours. caught'em all on a #16 light colored Variant....Which I am running out of and can't seem to find any more around here.

Today I left a rather dull mkt early and went into the Park to fish the Yellowstone River herself. Unfortunately the high fluffies turned to gray rain clouds and rain and wind cut the trip short.

The South Fork is where I wanna buy some river front land but mucho expensive...It's one of two rivers that feed the Buffalo Bill resivoir maintaining it's emerald blue color from the glacial flower of the spring runnoff .. North Fork being the other. A completely wild area.I've seen Elk ,Prong Horn Antelope ,and Big horn Sheep on fishing trips to the South Fork. It winds lika blue ribbon through the mountains surrounded by Aspen (I believe) that are now a bright yellow. Most is private land in the form of "ranches" belonging to wealthy city folk who like to pose as ranchers and suck the life blood outa the river to water this high desert and thus grow grass to feed their horses in the winter. Still their keeping large parcels private is what maintains the wildness not to mention fantastic fishing of the area.
