Smores!!!

I finally broke down and bought stuff for smores. I love them and have been resisting all summer. We camped on the Gallatin river at Red Cliff south of Big Sky...a lovely National Forest Campground with very nice camp hosts. The day was cool...in the 65 range.. and the night promised to be cold (it was in the 30's) so the campfire was welcome...and the smores delicious.

The fishing has not been great the last week...the fly shops say"the fish have been very picky and difficult" Humm what do you think that means...fishing sucks. No grasshoppers, no ants, no caddis, few spruce moths and no fish...they seem to be eating off the bottom and not the top. They do not seem interested in anything we send their way.

The weather seems to be to blame,as it is all over the country, with too much snow and a late spring. But the Nolan troutdogs have been dogging it all over Yellowstone and have had a great time even if we have not caught a boatload of fish. They do call it fishing and not catching.

We head to Big Sky and a gathering of Nolans for the next week. We look foreward to great food, great laughs, great drinks, and great memories. I am not sure of my internet connections for the next week but I am sure I will be able to find something to make a post.

Lesson of the day: The nympph pimps are winning.
