    Hey Rick,

    I am not sure what might be closer, but you would be a 90 minute drive to the Big Horn river.  Iv’e have great service from Bighornangler.com .  There’s some wade fishing, but if you are going that far to fish the Big Horn, a guided boat is the way to go.  Here’s another thought, you can rent a boat (it’s a very easy river to row yourself) then use it as a taxi to take you down the river, pulling over to fish where ever you want.  However, nothing beat having a guide put you on fish with the right fly.

    Good luck!

    Wow.  Mike, that is deep. Are you trying to upset a 100+ years of traditional, classic fly fishing?

    I guess that is ok.

    I nominate the Morrish mouse for our next fly tying session.

    I’ve had the dark blue, and the brown.  The dark blue are great in bright sunlight. But, I find the brown to be much better over all for bright days, and the dim lighting of early morning,  overcast, and evening fishing.  The dark blue are just too dark for those low-light conditions. I know guys like amber too, but I don’t  have any experience with them.

    What a great idea.  I volunteer Mike Oldani.  He needs practice tying knots and netting fish.  Also, he would probably make a killer sub sandwich.

    Funny thing is, he’s a nice enough guy that he would really do it.

    In case anyone is wondering, the last sentence in my previous post was supposed to read, “Watch out Son Tao!”

    Bill, are you sure that was dog hair?

    I also want to add my thanks to Kenny for putting together yesterday’s fly tying tournament.  Even though I got the worst draw of materials (probably on purpose) and Matt McClure got all the goods stuff in his material bag (also, probably on purpose).

    But seriously, it was fun to see what we could create with a random selection of materials.  It was an evening of great banter.  Once the pictures of the flies are posted on the FATC website, you will see that we have some pretty talented fly tiers in the group. Watch our Son Tao!

    Welcome to the dark side.  Hee hee.

    Seriously, come to a fly tying class.  We can give you lots of “ad-vice.”

    Bob,

    I use Dr. Scholls inserts I get at Walmart.  I get the mid-priced ones, about $15-16.  They make  fishing all day heavenly.
