August 3rd

Rowed Pam and my son, Peter, down the Stillwater River for Pam's annual Birthday float. Pam's B day is really the 6th, but due to scheduling we had to float a few days earlier. Whoever named the Stillwater must have been drinking or out of his mind, there is nothing still about the Stillwater.
The river is full and fast, so I had to stay on the sticks the whole day to keep from getting stuck more than we did. But the bite was on and we landed many bow's and brown between 10-15 inches, that this river is famous for. Hoppers were the ticket and the BLT gold and yellow was the best pattern.
