TR - The Gallatin on a snowy day

interesting pics. i thought of the gallatin as being bigger water than
that in the images. it's about the same size as the biggest water on the
nantahala, below the power station; or even some of the lower stretches of
hazel creek.
unlike penn's, it looks like water in which i would feel right at home.

Nice report Warren. Great Pictures! Bridger Bowl probably looks pretty
good this year.

is that the stretch of river south of bozeman on the way to west
yellowstone/henrys fork? i remember some big water by the road, though
i admit i was more concerned with and attentive to figuring out how to
turn off that acid rock cd you had left in your truck's jerry-rigged
player g. thanks for the photos...

Yep, that would be the Gallatin. It wasn't an acid rock cd.... That
truck didn't even have a CD player and all the tapes I have are country!
There was a country tape in there that kept playing over and over and
over while you were driving. You couldn't figure out how to eject the
tape because the eject button was broken but you wanted to listen to
something so you had to suffer through the tape. The CD you are
referring to was at Rock Creek. Insane Clown Posse ring any bells?

I know of creeks that are bigger than the Gallatin in Yellowstone.
Several feeder creeks join the Gallatin and by the time it exits the
Canyon, it is fairly good sized water. Once it hits the valley, the
river kind of braids its way downstream. The pines turn to cottonwoods
and the river runs through some out of the way areas that hardly ever
see much in the way of fishing pressure.

I think you would really like the whole area. The Gallatin isn't the
only game in town. Some of the feeder creeks are damn good fishing in
their own right and will get you far away enough from things that you'll
probably never see another person even after a week of fishing.

It is one of my favorite river in the area. I particularly like fishing the
meadow sections in the park with beetles in the morning and hoppers in the
afternoons in early September. The l;ittle bells in the bear **** in the paths
around Duck Creek always bothered me a bit, but the fishing is sure good.

well, i admit to being less than scholarly about music, but i think i
can distinguish country lyrics from hard acid
why-in-the-world-would-anyone-listen-to-this-mind-whacking-noise rock.
i'll never forget the dog yelps and caterwailing accompanied by electric
guitars and drums...never. but, yup, on sober reflection i do recall now
that it was a tape that couldn't be ejected... fortunately, it could be
turned off. that was a unique vehicle... i especially liked the carpeted
dash g. but, it sure was a happy sight for the chilly beer it held
when we found our way back from that day on the warm river, wasn't it?

Hope no one burns him a CD with Grateful Dead mixed up with Jerry Garcia Band
stuff.
