My Life and Travels
I was setting outside enjoying the warm sunny weather and started to get an itch for fishing.
Then I looked at the weather report for Ennis Montana.
Oops, that 15° and snow doesn’t look as good as the weather here.
Last week I commented about the no snow weather forecast, that hasn’t worked out so well.
The river is up from 1.89 feet to 2.74 feet and dirty. It will clear and fishing well improve.
Today’s drive was 396 miles.
We are in site 18 this time.
Our view.
Marley trying really hard to keep his eyes open, he lost the battle.
The flies have moved into the area. We have not had flies until the last couple of days. I think Jean got a dozen today.
Fall is here and everything is starting to turn.
We are in site 1 and the internet is much better than site 2. Actually have a connection for several hours most mornings.
Fishing was good today 12 to the net and 6 more on, all Mountain Whitefish.
Several 18 inches.
Moving day again, drove up to Palisades Campground and got site 1. Then into town for gas, propane, dump, food and laundry. We have been running the generator quite a bit so we needed to get gas.
It was cold this morning, here is the ice I got off the large slide topper this morning.
We have been in Montana since September 1, we didn’t have any internet during the first two weeks and I have been fishing most of my time fishing every day and not spending time writing here.
Today I spent a bunch of time updating the first week of this trip while in Washington on the American River with the Garcia’s and Brian. With the slow internet we have here at Ruby Creek it took me 45 minutes to get the InReach maps from the first day of travel and the drive to Montana.
I was unable to fish today because of the wind, blowing in the 20’s all day.
We have gotten 8 mice while we’ve been here, must be time to move.
While we were here at Ruby Creek I went for walks up on the bench above the river.
Today was rainy and very windy so I spent the day tying flies.
This is site 15 at Ruby Creek BLM Campground.
I got one fish to the net and had 3 more on, the one to the net was this 16 inch rainbow.
