Sept 9, 1977
Lower Lamar ; Rough C.
Went to the lower Lamar and fished up where
Rennie and I had good luck a year ago. As my
chopin, however, the canyon is completely clogged
in just above where we quit last time, and Woody
and I had to retreat to the car for lunch.
Downstream at Rough Creek but there wasn't
much doing. I got a 15" cut and Woody took
three, up to 17". Met a young couple Bob and Lee Hill
from Minnesota and had them for dinner while our
canoe was heating up. He did a bit better
than me did, my stream a half mile or so.
Tosh several Telephoto shots of a big bull moose
at Blacktail Ponds on the way out. Saw trumpeter
swans again along the creek. Fine chorus of
coyotes at dusk.
Sept 10
Buffalo Ford
Decided to go back to good old Buffalo
Ford for a final go with the cut-throats but
this was not the day. Woody got three and I
took one (an 18 1/2" beauty) in the whole day.
Rise was to a fly so small I couldn't even identify
it.
Saw a bald eagle on the river and 5 bison bulls
near Sulphur Caldera. A fine bull elk near Swan
Lake gave me a few trots on his bugle and some photos.
