Greetings All,
As some of you know, I have been on a long road trip with my family over the last 4+ months. While I haven’t done a huge amount of fishing, I have fished like crazy over the last month or so. Of all the places I went, Silver Creek in Idaho stood out as an incredible place.
For those of you who haven’t been there, Silver Creek is a tremendous spring creek, with incredible hatches, big fish, and blanket hatches. We timed our arrival there to meet the trico hatch and it worked out. I have never seen a hatch so thick.
In addition to the great fishing, the scenery and history of this place are fantastic. The Nature Conservancy owns a big chunk of the river, thanks to Jack Hemingway’s (and others) efforts to preserve a place where Ernest Hemingway and other famous early sportsmen fished and hunted.
In my mind, there is nothing like fishing small flies, on light tippets, to big fish. Silver Creek brings that in spades. Here are some pictures.
Great job. Absolutely gorgeous.. Your photos made me want to get there and see it for myself. Thanks!
Beautiful shots—great reflections.
There’s no other place like it…Silver Creek will definitely put your dry fly skills to the test. By the way, there are some HUGE browns lurking under those undercut banks 😉 .Travis
brings back a lot of memories, standing in similar places, storm clouds afternoon light.
Hangover from The cellar in Ketchum, drinking Trout Chaser.
several great daysNice shots!!! the 3rd one with the clouds in the water is really good as well as the first one with the warm light. Is this public or private water where you were?
