Cowboy Territory

My buddy Johnny and I had no obligations for the month of June, so there was no better time to take a fly-fishing road trip through the west. Here's a few pictures from the expedition.

Rough Outline of the Road Trip Route

Green River - Dutch John, Utah
The Cicada Hatch was the name of the game on the Gree

Fish Sighted
The Cast
The drift and slow rise from the depths
The Set 
Tight Line
The Battle
The Net
Revive (cicada dry)
The Release

Running down the bank after this brown
Couldn't turn down the cicada


Wyoming
The classiest all in one gas station
I guess Wyoming is all about convenience
















Missouri River - Craig, Montana (Dry Fly Only)

Fished dry flies all day on the Mo
The PMD hatch was off the charts


25 inch brown on a PMD dry









Sight fishing with PMD dries for a week straight on the Mo



Dual 20 inchers
The rare cuttbow on the Missouri

Beaverhead River - Dillon, Montana


Madison River - Ennis, Montana
Fifty Mile Riffle
Hit the Sallmonfly hatch on the Madison


Found this guy sitting in 6 inches of water up against the bank
The Madison River between Hebgen and Quake Lake
Salmonfly night fishing 
A month straight of camping

 Yellowstone - Wyoming


 Jackson, Wyoming
Hungout with fellow BFC alum Chris Morrell and he showed us a great time on his home waters

That's exactly what I was thinking Jesse. You guys kinda crushed the West.
