[font "Californian FB"][#005028][size 3]Hey there Xman, I did get over to the Teton river just past Tetonia. The river in that area was quite respectable. Caught a few Cuts fly fishing there. I also hit the South Fork just outside of Swan Valley. Spent most of my time there teaching my two nieces how to fish. Between the two [they both are around 50] I didn't even get a chance to wet a fly. Wouldn't have done much good as the current was almost white water in nature. A boat would have really been ideal letting us get to calmer waters. Hey, what the heck the girls had fun and that all that matters. One of them wants me to visit her later this year so that she and her young son can go fishing again.[/size][/#005028][/font]

[url "javascript: addTag('cool')"][cool][/url][font "Californian FB"][size 3][#005028]Now you tell me about the rattlers. Fortunately I didn't see any. The fish I caught on the Teton were all small. Certaintly nothing to brag about. But all along the banks one could see thousands of small fry grouped from various hatches. Looks promising for the future. I could see areas where some sizeable trout were surface feeding but I would have needed a boat to get there. Couldn't tube there for the water was too swift. As a few folks launched their canoes near by I asked how they were going to get back. They all had another car waiting for them downstream. On the Snake one could see drift boats all over the place. Also some guys wading, but they had to be dropped off by a boat for they couldn't have gotten where they were unless they could breath under water [/#005028][#005028]and had an outboard motor attached to their butt. I guess local knowledge helps otherwise one winds up like I did driving all over trying to find a place that I could enter the water safely and not be carried downstream. [/#005028][/size][/font]
