Now, I don't condone breaking the Sabbath Day, but...when one finds one's self in the back country of Idaho in an airplane that keeps landing by very fishy rivers and also happens to find a fishing rod in-hand, what is a fellow to do but fish? So, I did, and I enjoyed it. August 24th my Dad and I flew from Johnson's Creek Airstrip to Wilson Bar on the Salmon River. Unfortunately, it had as much boat traffic as Pineview Reservoir in August! So, I caught no fish, but we had a spectacular flight. We flew to Moose Creek from there, and fished the best stretch of water in Idaho--the confluence of the Selway and Moose Creek Rivers. It was quite rainy that day, and since I was a bit slow getting off the river that evening we could not get back to camp. Turns out, that was a good thing since we found out it rained all that night with a foot of water around out tent while we slept in a nice hotel room in McCall, ID. I hope you enjoy the pics and video below with lots of flying and fishing action!
