Norfork Tailwater - October 12, 2009
David and Brock, of the U of A Fly Fishing Club, braved the soggy weather and hit the Norfork for some good fishing and a tag team grand slam. Long night, Brock? Dave with a dark brookie. The one and only cutt of the trip. Big brookies munching streamers!
Other Waters - October 2, 2009

We also caught plenty of sea-run dollies which were in full spawning colors and simply beautiful. What a great place to be in August!RandyThanks for the pics and the report,...

I just wanted to say thanks again and give a short fishing report.Flying into Hammersly Lake, our pilot and manager of Rainbow River Lodge, Chad Hewitt, said that he believed that American Creek was, if not the best, it was one of best trout rivers in the world. Now I had my doubts, but after spending over a week on that water, I'd have to agree. It is a truly amazing fishery; the size, numbers, and aggression of the...
