At the end of each guiding season, the Jack Dennis guiding crew usually puts together at least a day trip to kick back and do some fishing amongst ourselves. Since the weather this fall has been so nice, we decided to do an overnight on the South Fork. We spent the past two days floating between Conant and Byington, serving up streamers and dry flies to some hungry fish. The fishing was great, but what was even better was all of the periphery things that come with an overnight river trip. Fantastic weather and foliage made it an absolute delight to be on the water. Camping around Gormer Canyon was the icing on the cake.
We picked one of the most beautiful campsites on the river, and sat around a campfire sipping beer and wine, and eating flank steaks wonderfully prepared by Scott Smith. Great time guys...thank you! The river has dropped significantly over there; we're looking at about 4,400 cfs near Irwin. The fish are really starting to concentrate over here too. Streamers, mahoganies and even a few hoppers did the trick. Look for the South Fork to drop even further soon.
These next few weeks should see some more aggressive eats from the Browns; whether you are on the South Fork or up in Yellowstone, the fall bite should be kicking into high gear with some cooler temps on the way. Instead of posting photos of guides holding ridiculously large fish, enjoy a few lifestyle shots that exemplify why we do what we do.
