As mentioned in the General Discussion thread, I got the chance to go back over to the Ruby for a couple of days. Had a good time. Good to get back over there. If you want a cool place to stay with some really cool folks, check out Ruby Springs Lodge in Alder, MT. Long story but the owner invited us over to see his operation. Treated us like kings.
We chose to fish on our own and did well. There are a couple of fish pictures in here and a couple of others that Joel or I will also be posting on Zach's site.
Here's the photoessay part. Sorry my pictures are not very good. I haven't learned this danged camera yet and I can't see the screen without my reading glasses. Really wish this camera had a view finder like my old one but, I'll figure it out.
Caneybuff and I stayed here, in Twin Bridges a few summers ago. The sign has changed a little but the place is the same.
Late lunch/early supper at The Shack, just a block towards the go light from The Stone Fly Inn.
Valerie the Pizza Chef, Danielle the waitress with the great smile, pizza and a Beltian White draught. Notice Joel's fork in the beer shot? That's the only time it was moving slow enough that the shutter could actually capture an image of it.
Caught all of our fish on a bugger. I tried for two hours to catch them on everything else while Joel fished his favorite bugger and was consistently catching fish. I'm not a big streamer fan so I fight it tooth and nail, but after two hours it was evident that it was for sure a bugger day.

Had lot's of fun, caught lots of fish, ate great food and drank great wine. And Whiskey. And Whisky.
Never did accumulate any snow on us, though there was some that blew through. It was very cold and I had 4 layers of shirts, two sets of long johns, two jackets, waders, fishing cap and stocking knit cap. Still had to time out to de-ice rod guides and hands from time to time.
Good times.
