ESP Day 3 - Miller Ck & Upper Shoshone 19Jul19

I slept VERY well last night after the day of a thousand casts. All I could muster for dinner though was a can of chili last night. Today I headed to the east entrance of Yellowstone to buy a fishing license for the NP and to fish Miller Ck, a tributary of the N Fk Shoshone. At the entrance to YSNP they had the licenses but couldn't sell me one as they said they didn't have enough staff - they suggested I drive 40 miles to Fisherman's Bridge - hmmm; I did not. Given the backcountry nature of the outing, I donned my Counter-Assault anti-grizz pepper spray. Fishing was meh on Miller but I caught a nice bow on near the confluence of Miller and Shoshone. I lunched across from a ski resort of sorts, refitted with zip lines. It was a good day - I didn't need to use the pepper spray and the wind only howled mostly. Looking forward to cooking a meal and tasting an ale.
