I had to give the South Fork upper stretch one more go before the weather turns over in Swan Valley for awhile. I planned to fish with my buddy Owen Jones and while making some breakfast, Scott Smith buzzes in trying to fish with us too. It worked out perfectly and being that we now had a full boat crew, we made tracks toward Palisades dam.
The weather was great in the morning with the sun just starting to peek through and the temperature approaching upper 40's. Streamer fishing was productive early with buggers and hairy, leechy looking flies and
the Baetis hatch in the afternoon also produced some nice fish.
I haven't had a chance to fish with my boy, Owen much this summer, so it was gonna be a good day anyway just fishing with friends; little did I know ol OJ was planning on freakin 'em all the way to the boat ramp. Juice box got this bruiser Cutty in a riffle on an olive streamer and it turned out to be one of the bigger Cutthroat he's ever caught! Congrats Owen on your hoss, nice work!

Also, Juice deserves accolades for maintaining composure with a big fish, even with two guides with cameras yelling at him the whole time...
