Key now is too not think it will be another 6 yrs! I've done that and then
been reminded that those things can come in bunches. Once the waters turn
clear, drop and the days become hot, early and late become the times to be
on the water. I have trailored the boat, to the Clark Fork and then found
the water to be low and the days hot. We've left the boat on the trailor,
clammered down the high bank at 6:30 AM and had great fishing prior to very
much sun. Back to camp, tie flies, poor drinks and nap, and then back on
the same water in the evening to dark hours and had excellent fishing again.
Those floating the river from, say 9AM-5PM might as well been in
inner-tubes. Jere
