Falls Campground; South Fork of the Snake River, Day2

This morning, I'd decided to wake up early and fish until 8 o'clock. I got up about six actually.

Though I expected good reaction for dry fly on the surface, not good. The dropper didn't work either.

Then I hit upon something. Let's try streamer just for change.





After several casts, I got surely take during swinging the corn head one. It was first catch by this pattern.

About 14inches/35cm, Yellowstone Cutthroat












After we left the campground, we found the scenic fall to the river.














Nice view from the top of that fall.






We swam a little in the river. It was a little cold, but was a kind of comfortable. Especially my daughter was so happy to get in the water.

I was happy to see native cutthroat, though I couldn't catch them by dry fly at 'Queen of the dry fly' river.

これサイドチャンネルなんですか?サウスフォークのスネイクは春にちょっと脇を通ったんですが、スプリングランオフでかなりの流量で、川幅もすごく広い感じでした。なつになると水量もおちついて釣りがしやすくなるみたいですね。

そうだったと思います。本流の方は、川幅広いですよね。どこも、Camp場の近くにはそれなりのHoleがあることが多いですよね。当然人も入っていますけど。
