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.
