Thanks, guys.
Maybe NALT will see where all of the grizzlies reside.

BTW Chech, were you involved in the incident of the bison attacking a car out there in YS the other day?  How much damage did they do to your car?

I was about 50 feet away. It had just emerged from its burrow. Fourth one I’ve seen this year ( plus two pups). Beautiful animals.

Poor WiFi so brief reports;

Sunday and Monday August 25 and 26.
Caught 10 trout Sunday before winds blew hard at 10:00.
Caught 15 yesterday during a great day on the lake. A bald eagle and two ospreys kept us company all morning, squawking and spiraling overhead.

Back at it today.

Monday August 26th:
Again a very good day at Hebgen.  I fished near Whiskey Point early without much luck, then moved to the dropoffs out from our launch area; immediately caught fish.  I caught a couple of fish on grassbeds, but everything else was out from the launch.  Caught 15 total (4 browns), and several were 20-22". 
Hotdogs for dinner.  Fun day.





Tuesday August 27th:
Our buddy G from Montana joined us at the lake (early), and by 7:30 I had 2 nice trout.  BUT, that was the highlight.  We fished until nearly 4pm, and I caught only 5.  So did buddy G.  D had 1, and B had just 2.  SLOW day.
Dinner at the Buffalo Bar. (Reno NV).


Wednesday August 28th:
Off to Hayden Valley to see the herds of bison.  They didn't disappoint.  Snorting and grunting announced the rut season; bulls were following their chosen cows everywhere I looked.  Saw some bison swimming the Yellowstone River near Nez Perce Ford, and others standing in the water with their dates.  One dusted off with dirt and mud, then he shook it all off.   
Cool 32 degrees at daybreak, and by 10am it was 60.

Good to see your pics again, Chech.

Thanks, Ricky.  I'm off to the park again this morning (early).

I had a badger walk up a trail and meet me during June.  When it closed to about 40' I make a grunt so it'd see me.  It stopped and hurried away.

Thursday August 29th:

Excellent day in the park.  We got up at 3:15, and got to Lamar Valley before daybreak.  At dawn we saw a grizzly and her 2 cubs walking toward a bison carcass.  The cubs are light beige, with black mane, legs, and ears.  We watched them for 3 hours.  They never got closer than 1/4 mile.  

While watching them a coyote walked right past me (5' away; photos).  

A black wolf walked past the carcass while we were focused on the bears.

Then we fished the Lamar River and caught Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout.  Fun and exhausting.
