Sara and I had an all to rare occassion to fish with Tom "The Nighthawk" Cornell tonight at $3 Bridge. We spent more time catching up than fishing. Tommy had some great stories from a recent trip to the South Fork of the Snake (Home of the sucker in the foreground of the photo. The sucker in the background lives in West Yellowstone.).

Fishing was a little funky for us tonight. We didn't see the numbers of mayflies or feeding fish from 5:00pm to 9:00pm that had been around earlier in the week. But, the caddis activity at dark more than made up for it. An Iris Caddis seemed to do the trick as soon as the sun went down.
