Please pardon my exhuberance for Montana scenery; and trophy trout fishing too.
I've spent a lot of time taking pics and fishing in my native state, but since it's
not the Pac NW I won't leave it as guesswork where these pics were taken. They are all
around Glacier National Park; one of my favorite places on Earth (along with NW B.C.).

This is McDonald Creek (actually a river trib of the big NF Flathead River),
approaching the famous 'Garden Wall'

Here it is viewed from up near Logan Pass. It gets one of the biggest runs of
landlocked sockeye salmon in the world.

Lots of grizzly bears there. I got lucky with about a half dozen pics of this one,
including one right by my car as it passed close by. Other bear pics too. This was over
the Divide on the east side of the GNP, where it's less dense forests make it easier
to spot all kinds of wildlife.

This was after going around the Canadian north part of the park and coming down the great
NF Flathead River. It has bulltrout (dolly varden) commonly over 10 lbs.,
and excellant dry fly fishing for native cutts.
