The Bird Float...


..Thats what its called floating from 'Grey Owl Access to Mallards Rest' on the Stone...



Thats what guides call it, what locals know it as, and now what just about everyone whose ever booked a trip does too. Because of this unfortunately, its one of the more crowded stretches on the Yellowstone (but still consistently fishes well)...'if you know what your doing'...?





Its rare I can claim such things, but have to say my friends and I are boating just as many if not more than guides at our shop are; so think (maybe) I'm catching-on a bit better than years before...?





...
























This was just two more floats down the same stretch this past week (a few pics from each, as one post); which makes the last 'Bird Float' about my 7th on that particular stretch I think, and close to my 15th on the Stone this season...



I'm thinking I need about a dozen more though before I'm ready to call it quits, and then store the boat through Winter..

Might have to incorporate some actual bird hunting in here somewhere or maybe a cast-and-blast...?

We'll see...
