This is a fish photo from earlier this summer but I really like it and wanted to get it posted here. Montana truly is big sky country and, while the focal point of this photo is the awesome rainbow being displayed, the sky in the background really exemplifies a day
Here’s a shot of a very nice Yellowstone River cutthroat that ate a hopper right off of the bank. This was a fish that had refused two different patterns and one who we rowed back upstream to set up on. A change of fly, a nice cast, a great mend,
