More spring(?) in Montana

[LuckyMike]

My son Tyler took the day off yesterday to go fishing with me. There was a little open water and a few nice rainbows to be had on the fly rod. This spot is 84-miles from my home.

Yes, adipose is clipped. I'm thinking this one is an Arlee strain.??

Cool! I have no idea what strains they use in Montana but I have spent my life raising hatchery fish and always enjoy seeing how nice of fish they can be if things are done right.

You obviously know the drill! . Leeches best that day. Tyler's big one in the pictures was caught on an olive colored leech. I did best on brown.
