Another really great week out West and it truly couldn't be any better. The weather has been terrific and were exploring new streams everyday. The small hoppers are beginning to start and this has the trout looking up. An assortment of dry flies have been producing for us, with the Madam X being our go to fly. I had my good friend JC come out here for a couple days and he absolutely loved it. From moose, deer, badgers, beavers, eagles, etc... the wildlife is outstanding. I'll check back soon and good fishing.... Capt. Dan
A fantastic first week to our Wyoming trip and the fishing has been excellent. We hit it just right as the streams are clearing from the runoff and even though some are running a bit high, they are fishing well. " There's still a bit of snow in the upper elevations". All the trout have been caught on dry flies and the purple madam x has been our best producer. We've been catching some more brown trout this trip and they sure are fun. Our largest cutthroat has been 22" and it's 48 degrees as I right this right update Monday evening. A great first week and here's my wife Becky with her first Brown trout of the trip... Capt. Dan
A great day to wrap up my month of June with Joe on board for an awesome mixed bag. Joe and I covered some ground today as we began tackling a fine limit of gags and a whopper cobia. Dropping down live pin fish got it done for us and really caught a lot of gags in the 23" range. We added a couple trout and to top off the day, we were blessed and boated a beautiful tarpon just under the hundred pound mark. What a day and great job Joe. As I write this I'm backing my bags and headed to Wyoming Monday morning. I'll be there the entire month of July and I'll do my best to post some updates and fishing reports. All the best and see you all soon.... Capt. Dan
A terrific day both weather wise and the bite was pretty good for Paul and Cindy today. The husband and wife team met me at the Plantation on Crystal River and we headed West. I loaded the live wells with pin fish and set up on a couple shallow rocks and ledges. The action was pretty good on the morning incoming tide and the team knocked down three real nice keepers in no time. It took a little bit to get the fourth fish, but we got'em and the day was a success. I thank you both for the great day and congratulations on a fine catch... Capt. Dan
