South Fork and Henry’s Fork of the Snake – Report

October 21, 2008 ⋅ 3 comments

Last Friday (Ocotber 17) and Saturday (October 18) saw Dan (for long-time readers, that’s Talking Bull) and I plying the waters of the forked Snake. Kevin (from The Cutthroat’s Spot) was kind enough to give us some insider information (he lives ten minutes from the South Fork—lucky bugger!) on the river. We heeded his advice [...]

Portneuf Redux

August 11, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

My return to the Portneuf River (my first encounter is chronicled here) made a big splash on the locals. Actually, I think my splash missed Kevin, but it made a pretty big impact on him—he laughed his butt off for at least five minutes! Coach Kevin C (of Coach’s Caribou County Fly Fishing Journal [new [...]

We have returned from our little fishing foray (and I survived the motorcycle expedition – more on that in the next post). If you read the route and map from the last post, you would know that we planned on fishing in Idaho on the upper Blackfoot River and some areas around it on day [...]

St. Charles Creek, Idaho

July 25, 2008 ⋅ 8 comments

St. Charles Creek is located located on the Northwest "corner" of Bear Lake in southern Idaho. There are about seven miles of fishable creek along the main asphalt road until you get to the three main tributaries: North fork (the main stem, which I believe has a dirt road along it), Middle Fork and South [...]

“I Hope You Won’t Be Disappointed” – The Portneuf

June 10, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

Yeah, okay, let’s get this out of the way right here at the beginning. These were the words of “Talking Bull” (AKA Dan) to me this morning. If anyone read this post, they should know those were Talking Bull’s plans. I was okay with the plans when he first mentioned them—no complaints. Even after we [...]

I’m supposed to be at a meeting at work. But Dan has a plan. Oh, why do I listen? (map and pictures below)

Big Lost River Idaho

March 28, 2008 ⋅ 6 comments

Only 3.8° Fahrenheit this morning – brrrrr! Hopefully it warms up soon. We busy ourselves with breakfast and tie up a few flies. We put in another DVD, the Underwater World of Trout: Feeding Lies, by Wendell “Ozzie” Ozefovich. Another WOW! This shows how and where trout feed. Great underwater footage! The narrator’s voice put me off at first (you can listen for yourself on the small trailer at the above website), but the information is just so incredible, I soon forgot about it and focused on the content. Another must see! Unfortunately, the DVD it distracts me from my real task – cleaning.
