It still amazes me that I can drive less than fifty miles from our house and see views like this of the mighty Snake River. I came down through Swan Valley yesterday to check out the Ririe Reservoir for fishing and of course passed the Snake. Since I’m cat-fishing and not fly-fishing I just paused to photographically reflect.
I wasn’t that impressed with the Reservoir so I drove on to Sportsman’s Warehouse and stocked my tackle box. I also picked up parts for my catfish catching contraption, which I might as well just call The Snake, and took them all home and assembled it. This is my version of the Santee Cooper Rig but I’ve added some bells by the floater.
My most prolific blog commenter Betty is arriving here on Friday along with Steph’s sisters Sandy and Wendy, and Sandy’s young daughter Victoria. Fun times this weekend and fishing will wait until Monday. Betty and Tori will be staying with us for a while! :-)

Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. can’t wait. Love to travel. I’m just hoping my hip doesn’t cause me problems. That rig looks like it could catch some catfish. It’s mighty colorful. The snake river sure is green. Beautiful pictures Jim.
very pretty
Your aunt’s are in town! As soon as they leave I’m heading to Mud Lake!
Got my license and pole. Call me in dead
and I’ll be there. After this last week from hell.
Won’t take too much convincing
Sounds like you need a fishing day. I’ll be at the north end but you need to call in dead yourself. Is that possible :-)
