Notes

USGS 13120000 NF BIG LOST RIVER AT WILD HORSE NR CHILLY ID
Took Lisa out to Big Lost, EF BL, and Wildhorse.
Big Lost was still running pretty high and hard, most usually productive areas blown out. No takers on surface or nymph, didn't stay long.
Went next to EF BL way down by Burma Rd bridge (lots of campers staked out in prime places). Water was low, almost too low. I hit on three in the deeper runs along the bank with Grn Drake. Lisa had a few little ones she missed with Para Adams. Lot of mosquitos.
Stopped on Wildhorse on way out. Again, not much action. I got a hit on a dragging nymph and had one hit my strike indicator. Pretty late in day tho. Water levels were high.OK.
Saw moose.
