Selway Fly Fishing

Selway Fly Fishing

 

Yesterday there was a break in the rainy Bitterroot Valley weather. We awoke to sunny blue skies and slightly warmer temperatures. It was the perfect day to fly back to Moose Creek, ID to go for a short hike and try our hand at Fly Fishing on the Selway River.

The fishing was pretty good in the end. Nice small Brook Trout, all caught on stimulaters. We packed a lunch and the pup, Meeker, ran around enjoying the river and everything else she could get her mouth on.  It is a pretty neat feeling to know that we where the only people around for miles, getting to enjoy the Selway Wilderness all to ourselves.

Here are some pic's from our fun adventure!!!

Today we set out in an A-Star, during the early morning light to try to capture some of the amazing Bitterroot Mountain Ranges. These images where shot with a Penatx 645z with a 45mm 2.8 lens. I also had my Nikon D800 and D4s with me to capture some super wide and telephoto shots. Those to come later!

Here are some of the amazing mountain ranges that split Montana and Idaho's boarders!

Easter Weekend

Easter Weekend

 

Over the Easter Long Weekend, I has lucky enough to hang out with some friends in Beautiful Big Sky Montana. Our Weekend started off with an amazing Helicopter ride, a Pie run by private plane and then finishing off with some fly fishing on the Bitterroot River. After stuffing our faces with some amazing Easter food and PIE, we finished off our Sunday evening with some target shooting and beer drinking!!! It was really an amazing weekend and I don't know how we will ever top it again.

 

Here are some sample shots from our "BEST WEEKEND EVER"!!!
