The Fall in SW Montana thread

Friday got out with Salmo. It was perfect weather for fishing, low clouds, light winds, and scattered showers. Got our first baetis hatch of the season and streamer bite picked up late in the day. No hogs worthy of showing off but nice day out and Fall was definitely in the air.

Today my wife and her brother joined. Water had a touch of color due to the rains the past few days in the park. Fishing was slow but weather was great.

Been on a big fish drought. Hopefully we can get it done in the coming weeks.

It is supposed to get to 73 today here in Butte. Last year it was snowing here at this time of the year. And the sun is shinning brightly.

Spawning Browns, low water and October Caddis. Fall in Montana.

I recently introduced my brother-in-law to fly fishing. He's really digging it and we got him out again today. This weather is just ridiculous..

What a view.

I stuck my first one of the Fall on an articulated sculpin pattern. My only fish of the day.

This has been nice but I'm about ready for some cooler weather.

Man. I should be there instead of here. That looks about like heaven right now.

I've decided to only vote for those that act like adults...I expect slim pickin's.

I think Slim Pickens died a while back.

I would never vote for a dolt, he said.

It's so dry here that even the wife's plastic plants are dropping their leaves.

hahaha @_WW_ ! That reminds me of my favorite Mitch Hedberg joke:

My fake plants died …because I forgot to pretend to water them.

Trying to fit in a couple days recently.
Couple outings on stillwater. All I got to contribute.
