Waiting out a Thunder Storm on the lower section of the
Stillwater, about 10 miles upstream from the confluence with the Yellowstone River, Columbus MT.

The river structure lends itself to dry fly and nymph fishing, with
deep holes, lots of shallow riffles, and pocket water. All are full of fish and nearly all of it is
wadeable after runoff.

Grassy banks can be difficult to fish, but hold some very nice
trout so it's worth the cost of hiring a drift boat guide like Oldwest Angler's Jim
Yeager that knows these waters.
|
Wild Turkeys are abundant along the river and came right up to
me while I was wade fishing as well as this group that watches as the boat drifts by them.

This is a typical sized Brown, taken on a dry stimulator while
fishing pocket water at the top of a deeper run.

This Rainbow took a Parachute Hopper and was the size
of most taken that day. Larger 'bows here run up to 20".
