My Life and Travels
We moved looking for more fish. We had ZERO cellphone while we were on the Big Hole River, it was a great place and I will go back and fill in the blog.
Today’s drive
I could not get the window on the left to close, touch screens can be a challenge.
We are in the same site as last year, starting June 17, 2018.
Current plan is to fish this area until June 24th.
I got three Brown’s today, 8, 12 and 10 inches long. The first one was on a black and silver midge, after I netted it, it went out the bottom of my net before I could get my camera out.
The 12 and 10 were both on a size 14 Parachute Adams right after the afternoon hatch started.
Tanya made Jean and I a cake while we were there.
Pictures will be posted later from my laptop, this is from IPad.
These are fish I caught Tuesday 5/28, haven’t got anything in a couple of days. Fished after lunch and got 3 fish one 14 inches and two 12 inches. Two brown trout and one brook trout (I think). Sunny afternoon with small caddis hatch at 2:15.
I actually caught this fish the first evening we were here, a 12 inch Mountain White fish.
Fishing was slow for me and the folks floating the river, water is up a little. Nice warm sunny day. This is the first day we had the heat turned off during the day and not turned back on in the evening. Charged the batteries with the solar panel for the first time this trip. 32 degrees outside this morning and got up to 70.
I went up on the roof looking for a small leak we say at Post Falls, ID. Did not see anything obvious but resealed around a couple of clearance lights.
Project day, need to finish the two fly rod tubes I put in the long outside compartment.
Pictures Took 10 minutes to upload these while at Ruby Creek with slow cell service.
This is a nice place they will deliver water to your RV and they have outhouses, no garbage. It is a non profit and you pay by donation. I think we will be here until next Monday or Tuesday so we gave them $100.00. I can fish right here at the park and will not have to drive.
Change of plans, talked to a local guy this afternoon and he said the Big Hole River north of Dillon was fishing really well.
Not sure if we well have any cell serve while we are there.
Fishing today, still no catching.
Today was the first day we were able to turn the heat off during the day. The news from Butte says temps are 10 degrees below normal. This year Custer State Park in South Dakota got a foot of snow during the same time period we were there last year.
Fishing today, no catching.
Nice day only had a little wind. I at least saw one trout.
Current plan is to move to Madison River and Ruby Creek CG on Monday.
