hey yall, just wanted to follow through on the trip with some reports. well, there was no luck fishing. did rent a boat from wild rose (honestly not the worst iv ever rented). the fishing was less than slow, it was dead, rained about half the time up there,saw maybe one fish rise all day, saw one person catch one by staley (supposedly on a callibaetis nymph) but no luck for us. we trolled rapalas and drowned worms at staley and targhee creek but all we caught was weeds.
the weekend wasnt a total bummer though. we stayed at a cabin a few hundred yards up creek from macks inn and had an unexpected visitor at night, a big beautiful grizzly with a collar, maybe about 3.5-4 ft at the hump. took a pic on my phone, will try to upload later. also on our way home we decided to take a trip down to coffee pot rapids, on our way out we saw some grizzly prints. just a reminder in case you forget it really is bear country out there.
