I live in Twin Falls, ID (not Seattle like my profile says). My wife and kids will be away for much of October. I know, I know....this is an almost unbelievable opportunity, and I've already begun day dreaming about fishing places I never get to when they are around. (Don't get me wrong...I love my family...but YEE FREAKIN' HAAAA!!!)
When my family is around, most of my fishing involves short day trips within a few hours of home, with the expectation that I will be home in time to read to my kids before tucking them in. Now that they won't be here, there's really nothing stopping me from being a little more adventurous and exploring new water. I'm planning to fish a couple of long weekends in a row (Oct. 14-16, Oct 21-23) with obvious overnight stays.
I'm thinking about exploring SE Idaho, SW Montana, and opportunities in Yellowstone (west side) and I'm looking for suggestions. I'm just gathering potential ideas at the moment and here's some that I've come up with (no particular order yet):
Idaho:
Henry's Fork
Fall River
Teton River
SW Montana:
Madison
Beaverhead
Big Hole
West Yellowstone:
Firehole
Gibbon
Bechler
Also, I'm considering camping, but if it's too cold I can just sleep in the back of the car. Any advice on this? I suppose the chances for early snowfall exists, but how realistic is it?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks all!
@Swimmy - advice on outer wear?
