Frank and Deborah Collin fished with Jack today on the
West Fork of the Bitterroot.
It was a busy day, but they had a riffle to themselves.

Below is a slide show with photos taken by Jack and Frank. You can view the
album by clicking on the slide show or the “View Album” link.

Fishing on the West Fork of the Bitterroot. What a pair! 
Craig is in the top photo and his friend, Tom Wright, in the bottom photo. See his comment! 
It looks like an amazing day, beautiful sunny skies. The flows on the West Fork are going down, that is better for fishing and boat handling.

Jeff Rogers and his Dad

Jeff Rogers and his family live near Victor, MT. His Dad visits frequently and this time, they fished some big water on the West Fork of the Bitterroot. They not only caught fish, they saw a moose.

Victor is about the middle of the Bitterroot Valley. I am uploading a photo I took yesterday at Victor Crossing. It is big! and will probably stay that way for at least this week. Notice the debris in the water.
Today, the water at Darby (the upper Bitterroot) is smaller than yesterday. Jack is fishing the West Fork of the Bitterroot today. The water is fishing, but he is busy holding the boat and not able to take photos. It is hard work to row effectively in this water – holding the boat so clients can get the best drifts! I am hoping that clients will send us some photos I can post.
