the salmon river skunk

Based on warm river temperatures forcasted in Idaho this weekend, my journey to the Salmon river for steelhead fishing should have led to success. However, after 2 days (about 12 hours each) of fishing and hiking, I left the river with only a couple whitefish to show. I came home empty handed, save for high spirits and a sunburned nose. I also smelled pretty ripe after a weekend away, which was a plus for West, but sadly not for Jess.






Welcome to the Steelhead Inn. I actually found sleeping in the Montero quite comfortable. It reminded me of all the weekends I spent chasing steel in Washington, camped along the Wenatchee.

I like how the Drake is staged on top of your sleeping bag.
