That place is a toss-up for "favorite homewater." Funny thing is, I have hardly written anything about the other place (I think just one about fishing with my daughter two summers ago). And no pictures of the other place. It's not nearly as picturesque, but has a lot more people memories. I’m glad it has that “familiar” feel to it.

But you're att he north end of Swan Valley (is the whole valley called Swan Valley, or just the town?). Anyhow, the clouds have momentarily lifted and I don't see any snow. Nice Portneuf report you left. I'll be dropping a note on your site a little later.</p> Kevin, I keep thinking Rigby is lightly north of Rexburg, so you can peak around the mountians toward Victor/Dirggs.

Probably will in the next few days and did over Labor Day weekend. I can't normally see the Tetons from my house. The Big Hole mountains get in the way.

Got out before the weather turned too wet. I'll be writing about it on my blog when I get a few minutes. I never took 150 shots, but wish I would have. I love it up there. I never spoke to another person for three days other than one cell call (my boss left a message wondering if I would be to work on Friday) to explain to him that, "Yes, I did want Friday off when I said, that if I get lost in the mountains and didn't show up to work on Friday, would it be okay?" My last day up there the wind was just enough to shake leaves into the water. It killed the surface action in most areas. That's when I decided it was time to go home.

Digital photography is great for those of us who can't compose especially--snap a million shots, keep the few that might be worth it, Photshop them to death, and then maybe we have something worthwhile. I still love that last shot of yours with the aspen and clouds behind them--that's good composition!</p> Haley, yeah, Lots of shots.

Clouds are here on the Wellsville Mountains (I'm located on their foothills and I can't see anything of the mountains). I can see across the valley and caught a brief misty glimpse at least to the 7000' mark, but couldn't see any snow. I would imagine by the end of the weekend it will be that low. Do you get a glimpse of the backs of the Tetons from where you are? No snow that I can see yet.

I think so. I really like the cutt hoper shot, big dries are always great fun. Great photos, isn’t it great when you go fishing and rip off hundreds of shots? I think so.

Looks like a great time creek fishing in a very beautiful headwater basin. Did you guys get snow in the high country with the storm? I haven't looked yet but we probably did above 7000 feet.
