IIRC, there was a big hole just east of the bridge above the little
island. (I could be wrong, but I was thinking the Madison was running
pretty much east to west at the bridge, before turning north towards
Ennis.) Guys were lined up to fish that every day we were there. (We
stayed in the second house above the bridge.)

Right you are, Chuck. That should have read "just east of the bridge".

Ah, so it *was* the very same hole. I never did get a chance to
fish it. Guys would start showing up there a little after dawn, and
each time someone stepped away from the spot, there'd be someone else to
swoop down on it. It actually sort of funny. :-)

Thanks for the TR. It reminded me of some really nice times in that
area. And nice pics, as well.

You're welcome. Are you gonna attend next year?

One of these days I will. I had thought about going this year, but
funds and time are short, because SWMBO and I are off next week to
Canuckistan for her high school reunion. She'll get to hang out with a
bunch of old buds, and I'll get to fish the Crowsnest River. :-)

But I intend to get back up to Mooontana soon, and I hope I can time
it to be there for one of the claves. It looks like you guys were
fishing all the same areas that I want to spend more time in. (Raynolds
Pass, $3, the Gallatin just above the park (and Taylor's Fork), Indian
Creek, etc.)

One quick question while I've got your attention: In one of the
posts about the clave, mention was made of Grayling Creek. We drove
past it every day, but I never got a chance to try it. If you can tell
me without giving away any "secrets", how did it fish? The section we
passed on the way up to the Gallatin looked very promising.
