wyomontana-ing - SOME LARGE SIZE PHOTOs

rachel and i visited wyoming and montana july 11-18. met up with danl,
willi, and rw in the bridger-teton national forest above kemmerer, then
rachel, danl and i traveled up to quake lake area of montana for 3 days
to fish the madison and west fork, and with hope of catching the cutts
in 3-day creek. 3-day was still in runoff, so couldn't fish it. did
well on the madison...it wasn't crowded, and the salmon fly hatch was
just reaching the area when rachel and i left. west fork yielded a lot
of fish in the 9-13 inch size. my camera malfunctioned - worked
sometimes and sometimes refused to open lense, so not many photos...plus
i left it with rachel most days. some of these photos are ones she
took. rachel and i left quake lake, traveled through the park on the way
to jackson. i fished the nez on the way down...lots of fun and lots of
9-10 inch fish in a pretty setting. jackson hole...not my favorite
place...sort of a huge western outdoor saks 5th avenue/wal-mart kind of
place, with spurs and antlers, for the wealthy. but the surrounding
countryside, the teton national park, and the streams were great. fished
two creeks north of jackson, one of which was as nice a stream as i've
seen anywhere with lots of 14" cutts.

these are the mountains south of the slide inn, photo taken from howlin
mad moon parking lot about 10 miles down the road from the slide.
