Glad you folks liked my story.

Fritz, that was a great story, thanks for sharing. Here is a photo from last autumn. I was not fishing at the time but rather concentrating on photography (the fishing came soon afterwards on the Henry's Fork). I met this guy on the river and "jones'd" badly watching him fish. He was a good angler and landed many of those "fine spotted" cutthroats, a beautiful trout I hope to go back for this coming autumn.

The other place I hope to return to, and leave my camera gear in the truck, is along the river at the Moran Junction. I photographed an incredible Teton sunrise last year(along with busloads of like-minded photo junkies). While the light show unfolded over the mountains, huge snouts were sipping midges off the top water of the Snake. It would be killer to hook into some big fish with dries.

WTF can give you plenty of beta and stories I am sure for the Idaho side of the S Fork.

That is amazing country up there. Later....

Thanks Fritz! In all honesty, the photo took itself.

No seriously let’s put one on the calendar and head up. I’ll show you the lower and you can show me the upper. I bet we will need a week. Ok a week and a half. Compromise is key to successs.

Let's get Pyramid on a good day first, then let's drink some brews(or whatever) and talk about a north country expedition sometime. When will the high pressure weather dome move on? We need some snow and Pyramid needs some foul conditions to get the chomp going again.

WTF! Thank you for sharing your quest.

Of course, that's why it's called

Fishing,

rather than,

Catching.

Micro

Google "Beaverkill" and "Willowemoc". There's so much history on those two rivers I won't even begin to try and explain it. Enjoy your reading.

Beaverskill (local vernacular for river is kill)
Medium sized rivers. Boatable for the most part. Gunks are nearby too

I did find this beetle floating on the water and I think Stimbo has posted one on this thread before.

This is probably what you were referring to, and I think this guy is a dragonfly nymph.

Rupell and Evel, thanks for the beta. Been enjoying reading about these two places and their history. SO cool. Cant believe the Catskills have never been on my radar.
