Fishing on Mission is fantastic if the wind isn’t blowing. Those big storms last week were something else. Two clients were blown over right into the ground. I have never seen a human get literally blown over but that is life on the Blackfoot. Mission is full of 18-20 inch bows and the fishing is red hot on the nice day’s when you get your line out. We have been pulling eggs really slow behing a lake leach.

Fished yesterday at Mission, typical day although the wind was not blowing a
100 mph. Caught 3 fish the largest was a fat 8 lb hen fresh off the spawn
she took a damsel. I also picked up a 5 and a 3 lb fish on a leach pattern
down deep towards the west end. Lots of bug life you can see why those fish
are so fat.
