Today was a day to explore. In the fall, in Northwest Montana, the fish tend to abandon the rivers and move to lakes. Makes sense since the water gets pretty low. So, I decided to go test some water I had driven by dozens of times. This water takes a bit of effort, another 3 to 4 mile hike! Hey, I am getting exercise and fishing! Exploring new water lets me know where I can catch better fish in the spring. So, the fall to me is about finding new water.
Some days you fish to catch fish. Some days you get out and just relax. Today was a bit of both. I decided to hike into a section of the Middle Fork I had always wanted to fish. Takes some work, but I hit the water running.Caught some decent fish. Wish I had pulled out a streamer, but the nymphs were working just fine!
