Big Lost River

Another day in Paradise. My office really isn't too bad! Over the past 34 years, I've spent a large portion of each summer and autumn guiding on the Big Lost River. Yeah, I leave near the banks of Silver Creek, but every day I spend in the beautiful Big Lost River Valley is a joy. I never stop marveling at the dramatic mountain scenery. The fishing is some of the best in southern Idaho. What a spectacular Rainbow fishery this river provides!

The hatches are incredible with Golden Stones, Little Yellow Stones, PMD's, Trico and Blue Wing Olives. the Large Brown Crane flies are very cool as well.

When the hatches are on, large Rainbows move into the shallows and riffles and the sight fishing is fantastic.

The birding is fun as well with heaps of Robins, Cedar Wax Wings, Downy Woodpeckers, Dippers and Kingbirds etc. Occasionally we see a Bald Eagle and lots of Red Tail hawks.

I'm headed back there with some quests tomorrow.......
