Snapshot Report post Posted April 15, 2010 Ahhhhhhhh. I dream of Yellowstone National Park and all those wonderful rivers teaming with feisty trout that are just dying to hook themselves on a well presented fly. Its been too long! Except I would not want to be there in April as the fishing is not open season yet> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjhunt2 Report post Posted April 15, 2010 I'm leaving the 21st for the San Juan river, on a fly fishing trip with 8 guys, and was wondering if the Cotton Wood Camp Grand there is a National Park? That would be great if it is but will pay the price and have a bunch of fun anyways. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted April 15, 2010 Have fun up there TJ! I have fished the "Juan" a few times. The last time I was up there I stepped into one of those moss covered channels, and went completely underwater. All the wife saw was a flyrod sticking out of the water, and when I came up she was laughing like crazy! Can't imagine why! The Madison, Yellowstone, San Juan, the Gunnison and Lee's Ferry of the Colorado have all baptized me in thy waters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted April 16, 2010 I am in the process of working out a deal to spend the summer and early fall, living and working up in Yellowstone Park. There are worse things than being a flyfishing bum for the summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted April 16, 2010 Brent, My parents used to work with Hamilton stores in Yellowstone after the retired, and suggested I work there in the summer to earn a few dollars to supplement my meager teaching income while affording a chance to flyfish YNP. I thought that is was better to just fish and not have a summer job RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted April 16, 2010 Doug, In the summer of 1990 I worked for the Hamilton Stores warehouse in West Yellowstone. We would palletize and load all the shipments to the various stores, plus other tasks. I spent alot of time flyfishing. After the summer was over I went on to help guide archery elk hunters for a couple weeks at a ranch in the madison valley, and the Lee Metcalf wilderness area. I actually guided outdoor writer, Bob Robb, for a day as he was a freind of the outfitter and he came into camp for a few days. After we went back to the ranch, Bob shot a nice Antelope for an article he was writing. I still have the picture of me and Bob on that elk hunt. I called in a nice 5x5 in a spot we called the "H#ll Hole", but he was after something bigger, because he had another hunt planned in the Bob marshall wilderness. I will find the picture, and scan and post it one of these days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted April 24, 2010 I have been talking to someone in Montana, and as long as my references have nothing bad to say about me , I should be hired on through September 30. If they have a good summer he may keep me around through October to work on some various other projects. Spending the summer right on the Madison river. I have a feeling it will be a good flyfishing summer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
