I’ll probably have to do this in a couple posts.

We fished up blacktail deer creek and caught a bunch of these little guys:

and managed to hit an evening caddis hatch on the firehole (which is still fishable for now)

Tim,
My favorite part was the opportunity to spend some quality 1:1 time with my son away from Xbox, text messages and other distractions.

As for the fishing, the float trip on the Madison was a blast.

Our favorite walk/wade fishing was Blacktail Deer Creek and Nez Perce Creek.

We cut our teeth fishing the small freestone streams in the Smokey Mountains.
