I forgot to tell you guys that I found a big buck knife the other day, just laying on the ground. Custom handle, good blade, a bit intimidating and it even has a leather sheath to stick it in. It spreads peanut butter, cuts rope, and I even gave a couple throws towards a tree, and it has good balance to it. A great find all the way around. I camped out on Greys again, went fishing in this huge hole a little ways downstream of snaggle tooth. I could see the fish, but I just couldn't catch them. Lucky enough some guys were fishing and they caught acouple, and gave me one to fry up for dinner. I think I'm going to change tactics now...I made a little fishing contraption like they use down in costa rica and I stuck a hook and a worm on it, and my first cast I got a bite. I only dug up one worm, so it was shortlived, but it was a good lesson. When fishing for food, use a worm and a hook, and leave fly fishing to be figured out when dinner isn't on the line.
I boated the Snake daily yesterday, had my fill playing around in Taco and had an easy shuttle back to the truck. Thinking about the Gros Ventre this afternoon...Maybe more worm fishing too! I start housesitting Saturday, so I only have another 2 days before I can clean out the truck. Rachel said I can stash some stuff in her garage in Dubois so between getting a good cleaning and droping a little weight, I'm going to have a happy truck here pretty quick. Everything is good.
