Lamar Lamar
Had breakfast with Mary Oreszka and heard
about her problems with research funds and
Troublesome taxes.
Drove to the parking lot near mouth of the Lamar
and crossed the Lamar to fish the Yellowstone
River on its big sweeping left curve below. In
this area you are permitted to keep two fish,
and we want some to barbecue. Fished hard
during the day without hardly moving a fish, but
after 4:30 PM things began to happen. In an
hour we had our two fish piece, all between
11 and 14 inches. Both of mine were rainbow/cut
hybrids but they jumped and fought like
rainbows. He quit as soon as we had our
two fish for supper and went back to the car
where we lighted the briquette in Woody's
portable barbecue. Had welcome drinks while
the fire got hot, then put the four trout on.
Served them with a toasted roll piece and a
sliced tomato. Delicious dinner.

Buffalo Ford
Went to Buffalo Ford and found the river
surprisingly low. You could wade right across
it in a number of places. There wasn't much
