The weather and scenery over the last few days on the river has been absolutely beautiful. The skies have had abundant sunshine, very calm winds and temperatures in the 80's. Coinciding with this fantastic weather has been an amazing feast for the eyes in the form of fall foliage. All over the region, the Cottonwoods, Aspens, Mountain Ash and Willows have been peaking in color.
If you have not been on the river bottom lately, I'd head out soon! The icing on the cake is this: the fishing is fantastic right now! Mahoganies and hoppers are getting the job done still. I've been over on the South Fork the last couple of days; fishing for fun yesterday on the Lower section, and guiding today in the Canyon.
The foliage is about one week behind what we are seeing in Jackson, and it is just as pretty. Here's a couple of shots from the past few days. A stunning fall Cutthroat that fell for a streamer on my day off; Scott Smith putting Jon Wylie on to some fish; Scott Smith sight fishing in a quiet side channel. More soon...
