YNP Labor Day Weekend '22

[mdcesq]

My wife, dog, and I made it down to Yellowstone for the second time this year for the 150th celebration. I fished some new areas and my wife did this video of me fly casting (she straightens it after about 20 seconds). I'm sure I broke every casting rule in the book but I just try to get the fly on the water these days!

We also were able to get into the Park shortly after the flood in July. You can see the water color is different. I got a kick out of this baby bison running circles around its mother!:

Hope you can view the vids.

Great seeing a report Mike!  Long cry from Yellowtail fishing with conventional reels. 

Oh, and I read a few more stories in the book and realize you are totally demented in some twisted way. LoL

That Bison and calf was pretty cool to see.  The calf was all happy hooves!

Many thanks, Tim. It was enough to produce a nice cutthroat. That was before a bison came up behind me and I had to get back in the RV!

All well here, Verne. Tx for asking. Hope you're catching some fish and enjoying life.

I wish I'd taken a picture of the cutthroat but I had difficulty unhooking it, even with a crushed barb, so I got it back in the water right away. Freshwater trout definitely are not as hardy as those SoCal saltwater species!

Demented and twisted is probably the greatest compliment a horror-fiction writer can receive, so thank you! Yeah, there's some warped stuff in there and it's best to read a few stories at a time with long breaks in between. You don't want to get too deep into my head, lol.

Yeah, it was a cool sight to see. I like the part at the end where the calf kicks up dust!
