Max at Ease

Saturday, the 4th of July, we let the LR's row us from Stevensville to Florence. Max is up from Brighton for a few weeks and that means fishing! The Bitterroot is still up but coming down fast and clear. Max appeared pretty content with a pheasant tail and a San Juan double nymph rig. He also had tied up some caddis flies and pitched a few of those when things were happening on top. It was an evening float.
Max managed to catch many white fish on the pheasant tail and had one large fish on that we were never able to see, let alone land. The fight was fun. I managed to catch the above little brown on a parachute adams. There were many hatches, but the largest was the evening caddis. We saw one blue heron many osprey. The mosquitoes were unbearable at the Florence bridge. We got out of there fast and picked up a few sparklers in Lolo for the big night.
