Fall Colors

**mems** · 10-14-2010, 12:09 PM

Aloha, Luke and I just got back from our trip to Montana. It was great to see fall colors again.

We fished the Bitterroot and found a variety of trout there.

Browns and westslope cutts.

We hiked to an alpine lake on the Idaho boarder, it was very beautiful.

These were yellowstone cutts planted there.

Luke got a rainbow.

It is called Reynolds Lake, it is a special place.

We spent a day on the Salmon fishing for steelhead.

My father in law got a nice 30" wild west fork hen. It was a very healthy fish.

Luke and I then went to Rock Creek for a couple of days.

Luke got a nice brookie.

I used an October Caddis and this larval stage fly a serendipity.

Hoppers also worked.

Luke got a nice brown.

We had a good time on Rock Creek.

Next we went back to Hamilton and fished the West fork of the bitterroot.

We caught lots of nice fish, even a couple of bull trout.

I found one hole loaded with nice rainbows.

Luke and I were pretty stoked.

We enjoyed the small feeder creeks like Skalkaho.

It was an uplifting experience.

Can't wait to go back and find this fish again. Mems.

That was some adventure you've taken us on! I must say the photos are just brilliant; and the smile on the young lads face says it all. What a beautiful area to go fishing, there is something special about Autumn (Fall) with the changing colours, first frost, the crispness of air as your breath forms a mist as you breath out, It's a special time of year!

Thank you for letting us share your memories, I really enjoyed seeing all your photos.
