I fished the Upper Madison, Firehole, a couple of places on the Henry's Fork, E Gallatin, Bighorn, and finally the Beaverhead. All great places..... there is so much good water.
Hey Stimbo, just curious since I've never fished there but would like to.......of those rivers, which one was your favorite, or which two were your favorites?

Hmmm.... that is a good question and hard to answer because they are all good, and all have unique personalities. But, if you want the most bang for your buck, I think I would lean towards the Upper Madison and Firehole. Geographically they are super close. And for icing on the cake, Henry's Fork is less than 45 minutes down the road and can have off the charts dry fly fishing to large rainbows. There is so much water up there....

Nice work out there Stimbo! So glad you had a great trip. That brown is a handsome beast.
The Upper Madison looks so dreamy. Makes you just want to go out there and lie down in the grass and melt into the landscape.....
I know you said you were doing some photography out there too. Any shots you're proud of? (Not sure if you can/even want to share em here if you're hoping to make some cash off of em though....)

Hey Scott, here are a few from the Tetons, enjoy. Let me know if you need some blank walls filled up with art work in your office.

Jim I might be interested! I actually had a patient of mine literally take one of mine off the wall from my x-ray room today. I have all my own photography in my office. You have anything with a fly-fisherman in it? Something from that trip or something from the east side? I might put one of yours on my wall to replace the one I just gave away!
Here's some of my own.

I'm the proud owner of a Stimbo work of art. One of my patients have been begging for one of my own photos off my wall in my office and I finally gave it to him. That left a huge hole in my x-ray room and I just filled it with this awesome piece by Stimbo. I love this shot from the Lower Owens as I have fond memories of my only time fishing there.
Thanks Stimbo!

Thanks... I looked at the report... thats what im talking about.
Q: All on Nymphs?
was there with G-Gome a few weeks back, you could see them ... but they were not feeding at all.
Except he somehow got several arm length BOW's in a little creek.
And he even let me "go first"

The browns are starting their spawn, but you are targeting the rainbows. They will eat about anything.... if you huck streamers, any color will work as long as it is black. :)

"The Very Large Trout Lover's Thread"
I've read the last 2 pages of this and the only thing large was that pike....WTF ??
Please rename this "The Very Large Ballcuppers Lovers Thread"

Even your wives are dumping you unless you whip out some large trout

A gud point! After a month & 1/2 of limping, I had a torn meniscus repaired & some "junk" removed from my left knee two weeks ago. I see the doctor again in 15 hours, to have the bandages off & an evaluation. The knee feels ready for some fishing.
I do have fond memories of catching, nursing, & releasing this 26 - 28" rainbow near here, about 8 years back.
I know more await.

Sorry, I don't keep my fish out of the water long enough to take photos. And if I did then I would know how big they actually were instead of how big I want to think they were.
Although I did catch a few 'sizable' fish this year.

Squawfish are a sign of a healthy water environment.
Don't hate on the white wigglers.
All Hail the mighty Squawfish!! ;-)
