Cold Weather

This past week in Jackson has been quite cold and blustery. After an amazingly warm and sunny September, the month of October started with snow,and with the exception of a couple of days, was mostly cloudy, wet and cold. The start of November has always been synonymous with the end of the fishing season for me around here. Although there are still many places to throw a fly around here in November, the weather often discourages me from going. I did get to fish this past week with my buddy Stan Czarniak again. We decided to rally and go walk the North Fork of No Tell Creek near the Southern end of Yellowstone looking for fall browns. It was cold (in the low 20's) and very windy. The fishing was surprisingly good on streamers. We each netted a handful of nice fish over about 4 hours of fishing. The cold, windy conditions prevented us from fishing any longer. There is literally no one around this time of year, so that in itself makes a day on the water worth it. Bright streamers did the trick in slow moving water. For anyone that is interested, a friend of mine is launching a new website called "GoFishN". It is essentially going to be like Facebook for the angling and guiding community. It is still in a test phase, but you can submit your email and be a part of the launch. Click on the link http://www.gofishn.com/ for more info. Here are a couple of shots from the other day...very cold! Happy Halloween!
