What's a boy to do?

glad to see you returned --don"t we get a trip report about your western
summer? even if no fishing is included--most of the messages here do not.

spent a couple of day in Graham co last week with Jeff----then Dene and I
spent a week bumming around snowbird area--one big rain so tried to improve
my nymphing ability with slight success, but did dig out one big rainbow in
big pool just upstream from snowbird cabin. They call them steelhead up that
way as they come into streams from lakes to lay eggs.

Went to eye doctor yesterday and after he said I was still 20/20 I
explained that tennis balls I once returned now go flying by, and Jeff had
to tie on small flies for me. Dr said perhaps I need to clean my glasses and
gave me a bill for $121

Kayaking in backwater salt most every day--not catching much but just
cannot say inside and do homework when Carolina in Oct is smiling

I took a lot of pictures and helped build some houses, went to a pow-wow and
rodeo, and generally had a ball, although 8 weeks is plenty long enough to sleep
in what amounts to a tent with wheels.

As for the fishing part, I floated the Bighorn and Yellowstone with 'Bouncer'
and we had a fine time and caught some nice fish. I also fished in Yellowstone,
but water was low and the streams were crowded - especially the Firehole and in
Lamar Valley. The park seemed more crowded the 1st 2 weeks of September than it
has been in July, and that combined with the rutting elk and bison make for some
dangerous encounters. Several people were hospitalized while I was there, mostly
by virtue of getting too close to bull elk. My best 'catching' was probably in
Grand Teton and just outside it on the Gros Ventre and the Snake. Not as many
fishermen down there but the place was thick with photographers, and you had to
be careful and stay away from the rutting moose by the rivers.

There are some new ones on my web site now in the Arches, Grand Teton and
Yellowstone folders, but I've got more shots that I haven't 'processed' yet.
