Not too far from Jackson Hole, just passed Kelly, Wyoming, Alex and I had the privilege of fly fishing a majestic and intimate setting (Alex and John Turner have the Flying Goose Ranch listed for sale with our company Live Water Properties). We drove along a curving road above the Slide Lake area. As we descended down towards the Gros Ventre River, the warm breeze came in through the Ford windows. We drove in through the gate and parked in a grassy pull-out to gear up. The evening warm, we felt the sun and could look down into the crystalline water. Were there trout down there? Nothing seemed to move but when we began to fish the tides turned! » More: Flying Goose on the Fly

Fishing on Lewis Lake in Yellowstone National Park
June 28th, 2010
On an un-crowded boating day in June, Alex and Macye of Live Water Properties, discovered solace and excitement along the shores of the Lewis Lake in Yellowstone National Park. The drift boat churned through the water and then anchored. With stunning clouds hovering, Alex and Macye found a place where sandy bottom mixed with darker volcanic rocks. Anchoring, they geared up and almost played like they were in saltwater, side strikes and beefy hook sets looking to achieve the results: lake trout, some more silver, others tempered brown, again and again into the net. It was a blast.
