March 9, 2010 - $3 Skiing.....

Last week Sara and I loaded up baby Jack and took a ski tour into $3 Bridge to catch the last day of the season before the spring closure on the Madison.
I can't imagine what we looked like to the poor guy gearing up at the road. He thought he'd have the whole place to himself; a quiet walk down a lonesome, snowy winter road to catch a couple of trout. Then we roll in with skis, a sled, a baby, a dog. It was a shit show.
We managed to pull it all together and glide on down to the bridge. Fish were rising to midges in just about every piece of soft water we could see. We crossed and skied upstream to a favorite spot. Sara proceeded to put on a clinic while Jack, the dog, and I looked on. Fish rose well for a couple of hours until clouds and wind cooled both the air temps and the action.
We skied out with a sleeping baby, a tired dog, and a few nice fish to close out the season.
