All the books created on fly fishing all point out the Henry’s Fork.

They say you owe it to yourself to fish the Henry’s Fork, at minimum as soon as in your life.

As far as scenery goes–they are correct. The river around Last Opportunity is a high mountain meadow meandering stream. The backdrop of the Tetons to the east, and the lodgepole pine covered hills, make you feel like like you are standing in a Trout Limitless calendar. July looks great!! It is quite wadable and fisherman friendly. It is all “catch and release”-so I guess it makes it quite fish friendly also. The guidebooks also say that when a hatch comes off–you much better match it exactly, or else these fish will ignore your bugs and flip your night into a casting session.

My night was a nice small casting session.

At minimum I had the calendar backdrop to look at.

None of the bugs I tied on worked, and when I cast correct in front of the “fish rings” and drifted more than them, it was like a game of find the trout.

Ring right here–cast, ring more than there. Ring there–cast, ring more than right here.

It is as if the fish were screwing with me and I detest it when fish screw with me!

The fish laughter was great as I lastly threw in the rod for the night. I turned to give the fish a dirty scowl, but they all just sat there whistling like it was not them laughing.

Bastards.

At this stage I might as nicely have been fishing the O. Henry, at minimum there I might get a Present of the Maji.

A large stunning full moon lit the way back again to my Mongolian roundhouse,where I drowned my sorrows in a large juicy “Flintstone sized” Bronto-burger.

Tomorrow would be different.
