Middle Fork 2009

After a 6 year hiatus we finally made it back to the Middle Fork. I might be a little bias but the Middle Fork of the Salmon is "the best" multi-day river journey ever created, and after nearly 50 runs through it's corridor I am still amazed and in aw of it's beauty. Sure there are other great river trips out there, but none have the diversity of the Middle Fork- Gin clear water, mountains, hot springs, incredible fishing, animals everywhere, mild temperatures, and tons of rapids.

This is when people started grabbing for fly rods

Nice photos. Why did we give our permit on the 18th up? We could have been putting back in today.
