Flying Goose on the Fly

August 30th, 2010

flyinggoosefish3Not 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
