Way to go John, I hope it doesn't pull you off the real fish ;-)

No-I'm not going over to the dark side- I floated the Blackfoot twice this
weekend as penance. Salmonflies, grey drakes, caddis, and another stonefly
(don't know what it was- similar to a little Yellow Sally- but I don't think
they were,) were all out. Water was & is fast, high, and off-color. Browns
laying on the bank- cut-bows in deeper, faster water. My first attempt at
floating a river in a pontoon boat- pretty cool, but things can sure happen
fast if you get complacent. Yesterday I landed a nice, probably 3+ lb
cut-bow, fat as a football and 18-20" long. made the day. (is this what
you call a paradigm??)

saw a wolf too- I didn't know there was some private concern raising 100%
pure wolves in the area- I just looked up as we were driving out of the
takeout area and there it was across the highway and maybe 100 yds or so up
the hillside - man them things are big!
