Hi all,
I'm setting sail from here in West Michigan after work on Labor Day Eve, looking to spend 2 weeks fishing/hiking western Montana and Wyoming (was originally going to be motorcycle trip, but I had to bag that). I'll primarily be camping in my Jeep along the way. After talking with some people around here, the Bitterroot has been mentioned a fair amount so my plan was to focus on fishing/camping along 93. Is this a fairly wadeable/decent section for a newbie fly fisher? Though browns and rainbows are perfectly fine, I'd love to catch my first cutthroat! I've been searching this forum for info on fishing the Missoula area so hopefully this post isn't too redundant. Since I've made the decision to leave my dog home, I'm also thinking of fishing somewhere in Yellowstone if possible but haven't done much research. Would I be better off spending my time elsewhere? Any camping suggestions? This is my tentative route http://goo.gl/maps/3P6Vk . Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
