Fly Fishing the Headwaters of the Warm River

After dropping Megan, my daughter and travel companion for the past few weeks, at the Salt Lake City Airport. Our plans to fish and film in Yellowstone Nation Park came to an abrupt end with our being evacuated, but had led to our discovering the warmth and beauty of Idaho's Warm River. I stayed on and joined up with fellow bamboo rod makers and admirers at Harriman Ranch for a few days fishing at the Railroad Ranch. Having had so much fun with my daughter Megan fishing and catching trout and whitefish on the Warm River, I had to scope out the fishing potential at the headwaters of the Warm River as the river is fed by a huge mountain spring with consistent flows and cold water. The biggest surprise was traveling thru Forest Service Open Range, encountering Black Angus cows and their calves. Megan would have loved seeing this and now she can join us on this journey!
