Halloween Fly Fishing: Scary Weather, Monster Fish
Posted on Thursday, November 5th, 2009
This Halloween myself and two good friends, Chris and Kevin, decided to venture out into the frightening weather to do some lake fishing in the West Yellowstone area.
As we headed through Island Park, the five inches of wet, unplowed snow on the road felt like pools of blood under the wheels and made for some spooky driving conditions. Pushing on, we approached our destination, then screamed in horror to see the white-capped waves, muddy water and floating ice.
Wanting to run in fear, instead we stayed and slid the boat into the bloodcurdling icy froth. To say the least, things were looking a little grim for the crew. At first we rowed around like lost souls before stumbling upon a sinister-looking cove with dark, dark water. We began to cast our lines like spiders casting a web.
Then, just like that, we began to bring the monsters to the boat!
Hope you had a happy Halloween, too!
