The scene is just inside the park at West Yellowstone of a fly fisherman on the Madison River. It was an idyllic setting, a quiet tranquil Monday morning. I immediately thought what a great way to spend a morning, any morning but because it was a Monday morning it made it all the more special. The morning had a bit of a chill to it and the warm steam vapor from the river can be seen in the background. I wasn’t sure I had that correct so I jumped on the Harley and road back to that location from where I live in Colorado. Any excuse to go to Yellowstone. I had it right on the money.
