Yesterday was a cold and blustery day with snow, wind and rain.

Silver Creek Rising Rainbow
Cool and cloudy weather and often times flat out wet weather over the last two weeks have really ramped up the hatches on Silver Creek. Baetis and Mahogany Duns have been super consistent except for the days with too much rain. The image below was taken on Silver Creek during light rain and a good Baetis emergence.
Trail Creek Pass
I suspect I drive Trail Creek Road nearly 100 times a season and it's a drive I've never gotten tired of. It won't be long until Trail Creek pass closes for the winter. It's a spectacular drive anyway you look at it...

An Idaho Shepard
Zenobio, a shepard at his camp out the East Fork of The Big Wood River in Idaho. He was super talkative (Spanish only) and really friendly as well. He seemed proud of his life.
A Rainy Day On Silver Creek
The rain and sometimes wind never really seemed to stop long enough for the bugs to get going for real yesterday. There were a few moments here and there though when the rain was light enough to allow callibaetis and baetis to actually get off the water without being pummeled by rain drops. During those momemts in the late afternoon there were a few risers...
Chad Chorney trying to cull the risers and put his callibaetis in the right lane. Silver Creek, Idaho.

Birthday Brown
Charlie Price and a nice birthday brown on Silver Creek. It's a tradition of mine to put aside guiding and whatever else to spend a day with each of my two sons on their respective birthdays.
