Safe and secure from the traffic of the East side, this lesser known slope of the Tetons has quickly become close to my heart. The heavy influence of agriculture keeps the pace rather slow, and all the folks you run into seem to be your friend. This magic corner of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem is no secret to the devoted decibels of trout, in fact, this might be Mecca to most. Mountains meet fields while rivers cut through thriving wildlife corridors. Whispers of bird sized bugs being vacuumed up by flashes of rainbow and brown give more than a few creeks on the West side the moniker of “world famous”. Fishing opportunities during the more favorable summer months can bring a lot of fanfare, but no matter how much clout is attached, Spring in this part of the world has a tendency to be a rather fickle mistress..Flowing water, well fed fish fish, and fluctuating temperatures can flop the fervor of any fly angler looking to part ways with the symptoms of cabin fever.
