Fishing the Grand Teton National Park Region
Fly Fishing in Grand Teton National Park can be an exciting experience. Both area lakes and streams offer some excellent trout fishing opportunities. Cutthroat, brown, rainbow, and lake trout can all be caught in the park's waters. Fishing in Grand Teton National Park is not only a treat for the soul it is a feast for the eyes. The Snake River winds through the valley of Jackson Hole Wyoming under the towering Grand Teton Mountains and there couldn't be a prettier place to fish.
At the base of the Teton Range in Grand Teton National Park there are seven morainal lakes. These jewel-like lakes are Phelps, Bradley, Taggert, Jenny, String, Leigh and Jackson Lakes. Over 100 alpine and backcountry lakes can be found in the Teton Range.
The lakes and streams of Grand Teton are popular fishing destinations, loaded with lively cutthroat trout, whitefish, and mackinaw (lake) trout in Jackson, Jenny, and Phelps lakes. Jackson Lake has produced some monsters weighing as much as 50 pounds, but you're more likely to catch fish under 20 inches, fishing deep with trolling gear from a boat during hot summer months.
The Snake River runs for about 27 miles in the park and has cutthroat and whitefish up to about 18 inches. It's a popular drift boat river for fly-fishermen.
The upper Snake River is one of the last strongholds of the cutthroat trout a trout that loves to feed on top and readily takes a dry fly. Some say that they aren't much of a challenge; there are days that I would disagree.
A unique feature of the Snake is casting to the native, Snake River Fine-Spotted Cutthroat Trout. These wild and indigenous trout, found nowhere else in the world, are renowned for their fondness of the dry-fly.
The more ambitious fisherman may want to hike for his fish. Hiking to these lakes can also offer refreshing rewards, especially in the heat of the day. Phelps Lake is a great hike, with a steady incline reaching the ridge in a mile. From here the trail drops steeply via switchbacks toward the lake. A quick dip is highly recommended. The water temperatures rarely rise above 50 degrees, but it is an immediate cool down. For a more challenging hike, venture to one of the many alpine lakes, such as Amphitheater Lake or Lake Solitude, Lake Solitude is a 10-mile hike but the views of the Grand Teton there make the trip worthwhile even if you don't catch any fish.
Guided fly-fishing trips are available on the area streams and guided lake fishing trips are available on Jackson Lake. A guided fishing float trip on the Snake River offers exceptional fishing, fine wildlife viewing and spectacular scenery.

A Few Thoughts On Fishing
"But when I am alone in the half light of the canyon all existence seems to fade to a being with my soul, and memories. And the sounds of the Big Black Foot River, and a four count rhythm, and the hope that a fish will rise. Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters."
Sound-bite from a River Runs Through it.
The Yellowstone Teton Region fly-fishing is blessed with a plethora of blue ribbon trout waters that host prolific hatches of Mayflies, Caddis Flies and Stone Flies. Dozens of rivers and hundreds of lakes and streams, all world-class fisheries that attract anglers from around the world. The Henry's Fork, the Snake, the Madison, and the Yellowstone Rivers have been elevated to legendary status by the movies made about them and the books and articles that have been written about them.
If you believe what you read, fly-fishing requires the touch of a surgeon and the spirit of a Zen master. Well, it might help but it certainly isn't required around here. Forget about what you've heard about fly-fishing in the past, if you really want to fly-fish all you need are the right tools, proper technique, and a positive attitude. With these essential elements, you can begin to enjoy the sport of fly-fishing in no time.
Some time spent with a guide can enhance your skills exponentially in a very short time, as they are all trained to be teachers. A day discovering the best techniques for fly-fishing with a guide on one of our regional rivers or legendary spring creeks gives you the foundation for many years of productive fly-fishing enjoyment of the future. Many regional guides have spent a lifetime fly-fishing the rivers and streams of Yellowstone Teton Region. Their instruction of the best flies, how to read the water, presentation, and all aspects of fishing the Yellowstone region can greatly enhance your fly-fishing experience.
For those of you who already know how to fly-fish, or do not want to hire a fly-fishing guide, all you need is a map, the proper seasonal fly selection, and some current fly-fishing advice, all which can be found for the price of a handful of flies at a local fly shop.
Most rental shops of the Yellowstone Teton region have drift boats rafts and float tubes for rent for those of you that wish to escape the confines of the bank of your river, lake, or stream, because as we all know, the big one is in the eddy on the far side of the river.
Spin-cast fishing is popular around the area also and is a very productive way to wet a line. Although spin fishing doesn't require the finesse and learning curve of fly-fishing, a guided trip with a guide that knows spin-fishing can really improve our catch rate. Remember to keep in mind to de-barb your hooks to improve your catches chance of survival upon release. We also encourage lure fisherman to cut their treble hooks down to a single hook.
The Snake River Drainage is home to a unique subspecies of cutthroat trout known as the Fine-spotted Snake River Cutthroat Trout. This outstanding game fish is indigenous to the Snake River drainage and relies totally on natural reproduction. Having a wild trout fishery with indigenous trout is not something we take for granted and we highly encourage catch and release fishing to protect this valuable resource.
The Yellowstone Cutthroat, as the name implies, are native to the Yellowstone River drainage of southwest and south-central Montana and northwest Wyoming. In general, The relation of Yellowstone cutthroat trout to Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout is problematic. Early genetic analyses could not distinguish these subspecies, but recent attempts have been more successful.
Whether you are fishing for one of the Fine-spotted Snake River Cutthroat our Yellowstone Cutthroat you will find their most endearing qualities is their fondness for feeding on top sipping mayflies flies or attacking stoneflies, drakes, and hoppers. Large dry flies like size eight Turck Tarantulas, Royal Wulffs, Club Sandwiches, and hoppers are all popular and good choices. Size six and even four stone fly patterns sometimes are also effective.
Rainbow and Brown Trout can be found throughout the area as well a few sub-species of cutthroat trout, and some of our lakes are home to Kokanee Salmon.
Many of our lakes are gifted with giant Lake Trout, but you usually need to be an expert or lucky to get one in the 20 to 50 pound category. Most are taken by trolling with spoons or minnow-like plugs attached to wire-line rigs or downriggers. They can also be taken by bottom fishing with whole or cut fish. In summer they often move to depths of 50 to 100 feet, but in spring and fall you can find them at depths of 20 feet or less. When ice fishing you can catch Lake Trout in hardly any water at all.
Many of our lakes are put and take fisheries and are planted by the Idaho, Montana or Wyoming Game and Fish, but most of our rivers and streams are wild trout fisheries and do not receive planted fish.
Our wild trout fisheries, due to the law of survival of the fittest, produce a hardier, smarter game fish, and is a resource worthy of protection. Catch and release although not mandatory on many waters is often the practice. Many of the fish of the region are caught and released 40 times per year and if everyone kept their fish there wouldn't be any here except inferior hatchery fish.
I used to keep my big ones because they were such trophies, and I used to keep some to eat until I realized that I can buy a trout for two dollars in the store and that fish in the river provides has a much greater value than two dollars as a recreational resource.
Jackson Hole One Fly Fishing Contest • Each year in September, flyfisherman from around the world gather in Jackson Hole Wyoming to participate in one of fly fishing's most unique events. It is a weekend filled with fun, challenges, adventures and of course, the famous Snake River Cutthroat trout.
Give the Cutt-slam a try. • If you want to see some breathtaking country, do a little camping and accomplish something that only around 300 people have done, you might want to give Wyoming's Cutt-Slam program a try. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the program that recognizes anglers for catching Wyoming's four subspecies of cutthroats in their native range. Back in the mid-90s, Wyoming fisheries coordinator, the late Ron Remmick, had an idea to try to bring more public awareness to Wyoming's cutthroat trout and the management efforts benefitting these fish. The Cutt-Slam was hatched and a program was developed to recognize anglers for making the effort to catch the Snake River, Bonneville, Colorado River and Yellowstone cutthroat subspecies.
Fly-Fish-Hooky On The Henry's Fork • By Reyn Bowman Growing up, my Dad wasn't into fishing so in the years before heavy chores began I hid my old hand-me-down fly-fishing rod near the low-lying Ora Bridge between our ranch and where I went to school in the town of Ashton, Idaho. .....................The tiny bridge crosses the Henry's Fork of the Snake River in the shallow tailwaters, just below the century-old Ashton Power Dam and Reservoir as that North Fork winds its way from the mountains down to a rendezvous on plain 50 miles south and a bit west with the South Fork flowing out of Wyoming.............................I've learned as an adult that the the Henry's Fork including the half mile of riffles and runs just above the Ora Bridge down through the deeper, spring-fed portion a couple of miles downriver to the Vernon Bridge (and even a bit further to the Chester Bridge) reportedly yields some of the best for trout fly-fishing in the world. There is even a lodge now a short distance from there.......................To me it was just convenient...................rest of story
Jackson Hole's Flat Creek • By Scott Sanchez All of us have waters that have made a special connection to us. Wyoming's Flat Creek is one of mine. Part of the attraction is nostalgic, since this is where I learned the intricacies of spring creek fishing. This stream was my schoolroom for spotting subtle rises, sneaking up on the fish, picking a good imitation, and then presenting a drag-free drift. Flat Creek is also special because its scenic location a few miles north of Jackson, Wyoming, on the National Elk Refuge.........more
Fly-fishers go crazy saving flies • By D Dave Strege One fly-fisher stripped his clothes off and swam naked into the river to retrieve his fly that got snagged. Another stood on the shoulders of the guide and used pruning shears to cut down the branch where his fly was lodged. A lucky one hooked a big fish that snapped his line, losing fish and fly, only to wait five minutes before the fly somehow dislodged from the trout's mouth and popped to the surface. He netted it — the fly, that is. What would lead a fly-fisher to go to such extremes to save a fly caught in a tree limb or a log in the riverh.................More
Henry's Heaven • By Jack Ballard Lake or river -- take your pick. The world-renowned Henry's Fork country of eastern Idaho boasts some of the finest trout fishing in the nation. Who's Henry?

Fishing The Famous South Fork of the Snake River • By Ben Arellano It is between the Henry's Fork confluence and Palisades Dam that the South Fork is known as one of the finest dry fly rivers in North America. All of the Fish in the South Fork are wild and fish between eight and sixteen inches must be released because they are the prime breeders. The South Fork typically becomes fishable for the fly fisher sometime between the first week of July and the middle of July, depending on the spring run off. This year (2001) the run off was for a very short period, thus fly fishing was productive in the middle of June.
Yellowstone National Park and surrounding waters offer world-class fly-fishing- a fly-fisher's nirvana • By Dave Strege WEST YELLOWSTONE, MONT. – A bartender in town gave a hint as to the essence of West Yellowstone on the fishing landscape." There's as many fly shops here as bars, and we're a hard-drinking town," quipped Thor from behind the bar at The Gusher. West Yellowstone is a town of fewer than 1,000 residents yet features six fly-fishing shops, evidence supporting the claim this is the mecca of fly-fishing. Each year, more than 50,000 anglers drop a line in 220 lakes and 1,000 streams that make up 2,650 miles of running water - and that's just in Yellowstone National Park.........more

Snake River Patterns
The Yellowstone River • The Yellowstone River drainage hosts exceptional scenery and some of the most diverse wildlife on earth. You can see elk, bison, grizzlies, moose, majestic mountains, canyons and waterfalls. And is a world-renowned trout-fishing destination. It begins in the Teton Wilderness in northwest Wyoming's rugged Absoraka Mountains 671 miles upstream from the confluence with the Missouri, from here the Yellowstone winds unencumbered by dams all the way to South Dakota's rolling prairies. The upper Yellowstone is pretty much as it always has been, and is being managed by Yellowstone Park and Montana Game and Fish for the welfare of the fish and wildlife that live around it. This has preserved one of the best trout rivers, outside of Alaska or Canada. Winding through Yellowstone Park and into Montana to the town of Big Timber, the famous trout water of the Yellowstone flows for nearly 250 miles. ---------------------> More......
Gardiner River • Rising on the northeast slope of Joseph Peak in the northwest corner of Yellowstone Park the Gardiner River is born. The river starts at 10,000 feet. By the time it reaches the northwest corner of Gardner's Hole it has been joined by several other icy small streams. After it reaches Gardner's Hole, Fawn, Panther, Indian and Obsidian creeks join it. All are small, winding, willow lined, clear and cold, and all host numbers of brook and rainbow trout. The streams of Gardner's Hole are the only ones in the Park that may be fished with worms-but only by children twelve years and under. Twenty miles from its source from where it passes under the Norris-Mammoth road bridge, there is a mile or so of very pleasant water. But proceed with caution as the walls of the canyon steadily constricts the river, bank fishing becomes tough and wading becomes risky. The river becomes a torrent and soon drops over 150 foot Osprey Falls, and the even steeper canyon below. It is dangerous to continue.-------------> More
The Firehole River • The Firehole River is one of two major tributaries of the Madison River. It flows north approximately 21 miles from its source in Madison Lake on the Continental Divide to join the Gibbon River at Madison Junction in Yellowstone National Park. The Firehole flows through several significant geyser basins in the park to include the Upper Geyser Basin, which contains the world-famous geyser Old Faithful. Early trappers for the steam that makes it appear to be smoking as if on fire named the river.-------------------------------------> more
Lamar River • The Lamar River is the largest tributary of Yellowstone River within Yellowstone National Park. We are fortunate not to have to use the full moniker, Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, of the Secretary of the Interior for whom the river is named. It originates in the high peaks, steep ridges, U-shaped valleys of the Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains and it is approximately 40 miles long. Large herds of Bison and Elk lazily graze along the river in the Lamar Valley. Wolves can even occasionally be spotted if you are an early riser or get lucky in the evening and it is one of the best places in Yellowstone to spot Grizzlies. The Upper Lamar River is another tremendous cutthroat fishery. The main river along with tributaries such as Cache, Miller and Cold creeks fish very well with dry flies for 12"-18" cutthroats. As with all of backcountry trips the wildlife, wildflowers and scenery are tremendous. wolves, grizzly bears, elk, bison, deer and moose are among some of the wildlife you may encounter in this area of the park. -----------------------> More
The Lewis River • The Lewis River is a tributary of the Snake River and is a popular destination for Yellowstone backcountry travelers, fishermen, and campers. The entire course of the river is located within the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming about 70 miles north of Jackson Hole. The river is named for Meriwether Lewis, commander of the Lewis and Clark Expedition though Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery never saw Yellowstone. The Lewis River begins at the southern end of Shoshone Lake and flows southerly approximately 3 miles to Lewis Lake; here the river is called the Lewis River Channel. The river reemerges at the southern end of Lewis Lake and flows in a general southerly direction through a steep canyon roughly paralleling the south entrance road toward the south entrance of the park. Shortly before leaving the park, the Lewis River merges with the Snake River just north of Flagg Ranch, changing its course southward. The Snake soon flows out of Yellowstone into Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Lake ------------------------------------- > more
Gibbon River • The Gibbon River begins its short journey into the Madison in the center of Yellowstone National Park, at Grebe Lake from there It flows for a short distance into Wolf Lake. Upon its exit from Wolf Lake, the Gibbon River twists and turns through narrow canyons and great meadows and thermal areas until meeting with the Firehole River for the genies of the Madison River. The upper section of Gibbon River has very difficult access, not much volume and involving bushwhacking through difficult terrain. You will catch brook trout, cutthroat trout and grayling, all on the small side, rarely exceeding 10 inches. But the difficulty is worth it for the opportunity to catch grayling, as they require the cleanest of waters.-----------------------------> more
Grand Teton National Park Grand Teton National Park's Snake River • The source of the mighty Snake River is in Yellowstone National Park, from there it flows past Flagg Ranch south through the John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway, and into postcard perfect Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park. Below Jackson Lake Dam, the river meanders through Grand Teton National Park. Above the river to the west, the Grand Teton mountains rise suddenly, with no foothills to soften their dramatic rise to the sky. These are mountains the way we always expect mountains to look, The snowcapped, Grand Tetons are America's quintessential mountain range, rearing up with sawtooth like exaggeration crowned by the 13,770-foot Grand Teton. More.......
Jackson Hole Wyoming's Snake River • The Snake River as it leaves Grand Teton National Park is equally as breathtaking as it is as it flows through the Park but allows you to see the Grand Teton Mountain Range from different angles and vantage points. This escarpment of perpendicular granite is awesome no mater which angle you view it from. There also good views of the Sleeping Indian in the Gros Ventre Mountains to the east. More.......
Snake River Canyon • A blue sky overhead hosts a few cumulous clouds, the towering Snake River Range overwhelms you on the right but the majestic Wyoming Range balances it on the left, an osprey plucks an unsuspecting trout from its watery home with a quick swoop from the sky and some handy work with it's talons. You can count your blessings when you're floating down the mighty Snake River that divides these two mountain ranges here in the bottom of Wyoming's Snake River Canyon. The Snake River is a gorgeous ribbon of blue, green and white that comes alive and deposits itself in you face on a regular basis in this imposing canyon where towering spruce, pine and fir trees wear rags of moss and bald eagles perch watching the parade of kayakers, fishermen and rafters float by. More...........
The Gros Ventre River • The Gros Ventre River (pronounced 'grow-vont') flows from it's headwaters in the Gros Ventre Wilderness which forms much of the eastern boundary of Jackson Hole and lies mostly to the south of the river. The Gros Ventre is a swift medium-sized freestone river providing plentiful pocketwater, runs and pools. There are not many riffles on the Gros Venture. The River contains expansive open terrain with exposed sedimentary rock layers of many colors, cliff bands, dense forest, and narrow canyons. In places the color scheme of this beautiful river valley resembles the southwest. The river alternates between a broad cottonwood-lined bottom and narrow canyons. Views of the Grand Tetons Range are spectacular. It is a beautiful, undeveloped region with abundant wildlife. The Gros Ventre River is home to the Snake River Fine-spotted Cutthroat Trout, and whitefish. Brookies are in some of the tributaries of the upper Gros Ventre drainage. Early season kayaking is classic, the fishing is remarkable, and photographers will have no shortage of subject matter. More......
The Salt River • The Salt River is a small river that originates on the western slope of the Salt River Mountain Range just south of the town of Afton. It flows north through scenic Star Valley Wyoming between the Salt River Range of Wyoming and the Caribou Range of Idaho into Palisades Reservoir at its confluence with the Snake River. On it's way it meanders through miles of ranch land until it reaches on Idaho-Wyoming border. The Salt River is home to Brown, Rainbow, Brook and Snake River Fine Spotted Cutthroat and Trout. The Salt is a flat-water river but does offer scenic canoe, kayak, rafting and tubing floats.------------------------≥ More......
The Green River • The Green River a major tributary of the great Colorado River system, it is born from the glacier melt water high in the Wind River Mountains, it dumps from the glaciers into a pair of large scenic lakes in the northern region of the Winds and emerges suddenly as a fast-flowing, freestone river with a deep emerald color which appropriately gives the Green its name. From Green River Lakes, it runs 730 miles to join the Colorado deep in Utah's Canyonlands National Park, passing through Flaming Gorge Canyon along the way. The Green River joins the Colorado River to form the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Beginning in the Bridger-Teton National Forest at Green River Lakes, one of the prettiest places on earth, the river makes a big bend and then turns south before entering private property. Unpaved National Forest roads skirt the river and afford many places along this 20-mile stretch to fish, watch wildlife, and enjoy the sound of tumbling water. --------> More
The Wind River • The Wind River is the name for the upper reaches of the Bighorn River in Wyoming. As the story goes, a miscommunication between 19th century explorers led to the portion of the river that enters the Wind River Canyon to be named the Wind River, while the one that exits the canyon is called the Big Horn River. The Wind River begins its journey in the icy waters of Wind River Lake and Brooks Lake at the top of Togwotee Pass in the Absaroka Mountains. Glacier fed creeks pour into it from the glacier studded Wind River Range, Dunior, Horse Creek and the East Fork of the Wind River just east of Dubois all which drain the southern Absaroka Range join it before it hits the desert of the Wind River Indian Reservation. It flows southeastward, across the Shoshone Basin and the Wind River Indian Reservation and joins the Little Wind River near Riverton. It then veers northward then is temporarily tamed at the juncture of the Owl Creek Mountains, where the river is dammed to form Boysen Reservoir, the Wind River officially becomes the Bighorn River at the Wedding of the Waters, on the north side of the Wind River Canyon.---------------------------> More
The Greys River • The Grey's River is located just east of the Idaho/Wyoming border near Alpine, Wyoming. The river is about 55 miles long and flows into Palisades Reservoir. The Grey's River area is considered by many northwest Wyoming locals to be a one of their favorite multiple use playgrounds, the river offers great trout fishing, kayaking, rafting and canoeing and there are many access points along the road to access the river. The towering Salt River Range to the west and the matching Wyoming Range to the east, both hosting several peaks that reach above 11,000 feet in elevation, this results in an awesome place to be. The surrounding mountains and their many canyons offer OHVing, horseback riding, hiking, and trophy elk and deer hunting with many Boon and Crocket records to prove it. This mountain valley is alive with the sweet smell of wildflowers, the green forest floor is shared with yellow Balsamroot, red Indian Paintbrush Yellow Arrowleaf, and purple Fireweed. More..........
Hoback River • Twelve miles south of Jackson you will find the Hoback River which is one of the more accessible rivers in the Jackson Hole, Yellowstone region. Highway 191 parallels it the river most of the Hoback's length from the confluence with the Snake River to about five miles south of the town of Bondurant where the river turns west into the Wyoming Range. Much of the lower section is private land but there are several access points and patches of national forest and BLM land, which provides access points. Here there isn't a lot of drop but there are several good waves and fishing holes. During the spring, winter and late fall you can often see Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep on the cliffs by Camp Creek Inn.-------------------------------------> more
The Greybull River • The Greybull River south of Cody Wyoming runs through some of the most remote backcountry in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The river rises near Francs Peak in the Absaroka Mountains in the southwest corner of the Big Horn Basin. The Wood River, which drains a part of the Absaroka Mountains to the south, joins it west of Meeteetse, continuing through the southern parts of Park County and Big Horn County before flowing into the Big Horn River near Greybull. Along its 90-mile corridor, water travels from snow-capped peaks in the Absaroka Mountains to sagebrush flats and prairie at its confluence with the Bighorn River.------------------------------------- > more
Clarks Fork Of The Yellowstone River • The Clarks Fork is a tributary of the Yellowstone River, flowing southeast through Montana, and Wyoming. It carves a path from the Beartooth Mountains in the north to the Absaroka Range this river is famous for its recreational opportunities and breath-taking views. It is in the northwest corner of Wyoming adjacent to Yellowstone National Park. Originating in the high mountain peaks close to the Montana/Wyoming border at the western end of the Beartooth All-American Road, The Upper Clarks Fork headwaters are near the town of Cooke City, Montana, some 12 miles north of the Wyoming border. The Upper Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone River parallels the highway for seventeen breathtaking miles which facilitate easy access.-------------------------------------> more
Shoshone River • The Shoshone River is a northern Wyoming river whose headwaters are in Yellowstone National Park, and is a heavily traveled corridor for people visiting Yellowstone Park via the east entrance of Yellowstone. The Shoshone River here has been rated among the top ten freestone trout fisheries in the Rocky Mountains. Teddy Roosevelt once called the North Fork corridor the most scenic 50 miles of land in America. Cities it runs near or through are Cody, Powell, and Byron It ends when it runs into the Big Horn River near Lovell, Wyoming. The Shoshone River combines all the streams, rivers, and waterways to create the main eastern drainage of Yellowstone National Park. The scenic vistas of Red Rock Canyon and Lower Canyon are sure to have you looking back in time. It runs through a volcanically active region of fumaroles known as Coulter's Hell. This contributed to the river being named on old maps of Wyoming as the Stinking Water River.----------------------------------------> More
South Fork of the Snake River • The South Fork of the Snake is in southeastern Idaho close to the Wyoming border. The South Fork begins as it flows out of 20 mile long Palisades Reservoir in the community of Swan Valley, forming a 64-mile stretch of legendary tail-water fly-fishing. The South Fork is also a beautiful river for flat water rafting, canoeing and kayaking. If you float this river in a canoe know what you are doing as it is big water and its flat-water appearance can fool you to its dangers. More.........
The Henry's Fork • The Henry's Fork of the Snake River, located in eastern Idaho, is one of the most famous trout streams in all of the United States. It's legendary hatches and abundant large wild rainbow trout make the Henry's Fork one of America's top fly-fishing destinations. The river flows for approximately 150 miles and within its journey passes some of the more classic dry fly water in the United States. Gentle flowing meadowland, pocket water, and spring creek like sections make up much of this legendary fishery made popular by Avril Harriman the railroad man. The Henry's Fork of the Snake is a spectacular river and fishery. Anglers come from all over the world to this river to fish its diverse and productive waters. More........
The Fall River • Tucked in the southwest corner of Yellowstone National Park, the Falls River basin is truly a fisherman's and waterfall lover's paradise. The Fall River is aptly named because of the many waterfalls along its tributaries. This is the major river that drains the Cascade Corner, of Yellowstone Park. The four major streams in the Fall River drainage are the Belcher River, Boundary Creek, Mountain Ash creek and of course the Fall River. They begin on the Madison and Pitchstone plateaus and they carve canyons across Yellowstone Park's southwest corner. Some of Yellowstone's most beautiful waterfalls are in this area. As the runoff of many creeks drop off the Madison and Pitchstone Plateaus, many waterfalls are formed. With nearly 80 inches of annual precipitation, the Falls River drainage is one of the wettest portions of Yellowstone National Park. The Falls River is a backpacking, fisherman, and photographer's nirvana. More......
The Teton River • The Teton River begins its journey to the Columbia in the upper reaches of postcard perfect Teton Valley. Much of this mountain valley is pasture, grain and potato fields, and open range bordered by the forested hills of the Big Hole Mountains and the famous peaks of the Grand Teton Range. The rugged peaks of the Tetons and the forested hillsides of the Big Hole's stand in stark contrast to each other, this diversity adds character to the Teton River Valley. The upper Teton River is a meandering spring creek that is a fly-fishing nirvana. Huge rainbow and cutthroat trout live throughout the entire river. This is a dry fly paradise! Mayfly hatches are prolific and often there will be four or five different hatches at the same time. The Narrows (the lower Teton) has all the adrenaline rush attributes of any class IV and V whitewater river. The Teton River is a diverse waterway providing the gamut from tubing to world class whitewater and trout fishing. More......
The Gallatin River • The Gallatin River of southwestern Montana is a beautiful freestone trout stream that doubles as a whitewater adventure destination, it is an amazingly scenic The Gallatin is a well-known, easily accessible, and heavily fished, trout stream that, despite those pitfalls, offers three species of trout that eagerly take dry flies and nymphs in one of the most beautiful and rugged portions of Montana. The Gallatin has 120 miles of appealing trout water, including a delicate upper portion that flows through lush meadows, a roily middle section that cuts through a spectacular, heavily forested canyon, and a lower stretch that twists across a broad valley before meeting the Jefferson and Madison rivers at Three Forks. Parts of the movie A River Runs Through It were filmed on the Gallatin. The River winds through high alpine meadows, dropping into the rocky Gallatin Canyon, and flowing out into the Gallatin Valley. It is also known as a blue-ribbon trout water. It is a tremendous asset to the communities of Bozeman, Big Sky and West Yellowstone.--------------------------> More
Madison River • The legendary trout waters of the Madison River originate at Madison Junction inYellowstone National Park where the Gibbon and Firehole come together to form the Madison. It was here in late summer of 1870 in what is known as National Park Meadows that the Langford-Washburn-Doane expedition conceived making Yellowstone a national park. It's logical to think that the river's origin in the high plateau region of Yellowstone Park, which is notoriously cold, would keep the river cold, however, the Madison and its upper tributaries run right through the most thermally active region in the United States, the water temperature on most sections of the river is remarkably warm for a high mountain river, often more than seventy degrees in the summer. Despite its high, mountain environment, which usually leads to low nutrient content, the Madison has an amazingly high nutrient level fostering great fishing. ................... More

Grover Cleveland Early CareerA lawyer in Buffalo, N.Y., he became (1882) the "veto mayor" who drove corruption from the city administration. He won the attention of Daniel Manning and the reform Democrats and was elected governor of New York. Cleveland further built his reputation as an enemy of machine politics by breaking violently with the Tammany leader, John Kelly, and supporting the bills prepared by Theodore Roosevelt to improve the government of New York City.

My 2 cents
I spend alot of time during the Fall chasing them and have found that the hook doesn't make a difference. Size does sometimes but not all the time. I experimented the last few years and found that even though Albies are feeding on rainbait and they seem to ignore your best offering try throwing a 2/0 or 3/0 Pearl or Gold color Creasefly. For some reason they hit that but will steer clear of the best Anchovie immy you have.
A guide friend of mine showed me a trick up in Watchill one day. I was throwing everything from Size 4 up to Size 1/0 at the fish. They were everywhere ... I mean all around the boat. It would have been easier whacking them on the head than trying to get them to eat. The bait was small.. maybe around 1.5 inches. My closest match was a #6 Tan and White deciever ( very sparse ) w / gold flash. The match was pretty damn close. Once in a while I get a looker ... most of the time they didnt even notice it. Me and him were discussing my dilemma when he said " watch this " . He put on a 5 inch 3/4 ounce Green and Silver Gaggs Pencil Popper and proceeded to hook and land fish after fish! By this time I was ready to stick that Gaggs where the sun didnt shine.
His point was that color or size didnt matter as much as we all like to think. He advised me to put on a ratty popper or a crease fly. It worked !! not as well as that Gaggs on a spinning set up but I got alot of lookers and a few hook ups.
My personal thoughts is that presentation plays the biggest part in success. Ive caught Albies using BIG cruddy flies that I honestly would be embarassed to show anyone. Not only where they much bigger than any bait around they where bright colored and should have scared the fish as well as anyone near enough to see what I was using. The success came by varying my presentations. The best presentation I have founs so far is dead drift with an occassional twitch and a painfully slow retrieve.
Just my thoughts

Loved it but wish it came with bushings &/or bolts to hold it on but other than that it's a great product,it comes packed so you don't have to mess with fiberglass packing 9/10
Pro Circuit Factory 304 Silencer - 2-Stroke
Write your review and you'll automatically be entered in our monthly drawing. Include an image or video to DOUBLE your chances to win!
Write Your ReviewI ordered this silencer and I couldn't be happier! The power is awesome paired with the pro circuit platinum pipe. Low end torque sufferers a little but the mid to top end screams and more than makes up for the low end loss. Very happy customer!
Its a very good e exhaust :) its have a very hig sound
Its fit easily on my ktm 125. its the perfect shorty to ktm 125
Fitted on: ktm 125 exc 2014
Smaller profile than stock. Maybe added some power but still working on finding the right jet combo for my riding style. Still fouling plugs like crazy. Actually had to go down in size on main and pilot jet and still have to go down. I ride mostly trails so its very low speed stuff maybe thats why. Sounds about the same but as the packing gets soaked in oil seems like its getting louder. Overall very happy. Has taken a beating getting dumped and has held up fine.
Exhaust sounds awesome on my kx500. Could also feel a little more power in the bottom end!
Form, fit and finish is of a quality that I'd expect. I can't say anything bad for the silencer. It did just as I wanted, I was running a shorty silencer, but with my SXS 300 kit it was a little to punchy for my tastes. The longer silencer moved the powerband higher into the RPM range and the hit was a tad softer. It works for me.
Fitted on: 2009 KTM 250SX
pro-circuit products have been on my race bikes for 20 years they hold up well look good and perform well . very happy with pro-circuit.
First silencer I ever bought that actually improved performance in conjunction with a pro circuit platinum 2 pipe. Power delivery better across the board. Buy it !
long live the 2 stroke! pipe rips and stays looking new for a while- cover it with WD-40 when you clean the bike.
Was great paired with e Pro circuit spark arrest or, and was very good power booster, plus looks good on the bike, and seems to be okay durability, but not as good as FMF. By far one of the best power boosters in terms of 2 stroke pipes, I've ever used.
I bought this silencer because it was rated really good and the price was great. It is not as loud as i was hoping on my kx 85 aboutthe same as stock but really makes a difference in power
The 304 really lets all my horses out, top and bottom end show significant power increase. Had a spark arrest on before. Very snappy on the pipe, no back pressure lost. No change in spark plug wear. Hidden behind the number plate, very neat to the bike. SOUNDS SIKK!!!
i bought these to pair with a set of shearer inframe drag pipes they fit like a glove and took the banshees crackling sound away and gave her a extraordinary exhaust note in between a 4 stroke and a chainsaw sounds like an angels soung to my ears.
good silencer sounds awsome with the pro circuit works header
Sound good and good price
it is noticeably quieter , but dose not take away any preformane, all around good pipe
This looks like its going to be a good silencer, it was a little hard to put on my 2007 kx 85 you have to force it some it was off a little bit. Havent got to ride it yet or start it up but im going to tommorw. But by hard to put on i mean you have to push real hard and it pushes the rubber muffler joint thing some and it goes back a little extra.
this silincer was a great buy, it quieted my bike down a bit and made it sound awesome, and i didnt even need to rejet my kx 80, there was a major power increase throught low to high rpm's the only problem was that the silincer didnt fit in the stock position and it wouldn't let me put my side pannel on right, and i had to modify the side pannel to get the new silincer to fit in but it looks alright, the silincer didn't look like it does in the picture but whatever, overall a great buy
Bought this with the Platinum Series Pipe for my 2000 YZ 250. It bolted right on, fit perfectly and performs great. I love the way this make s the bike sound! It is very easy to re-pack and the finish is durable. Big thumbs up!! See my review on the Platinum Series pipe for more...
i would recamend this pipe 2 any one who likes power, i just put it om my 2006 cr85 and it ripes even more, great for trails and track i use it for both great buy.

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY: DA team to focus on children's crimes
The San Bernardino County district attorneyâs office announced the formation Tuesday, Dec. 11, of a specialized prosecution unit that will focus on serious crimes against children.
The Major Crimes Against Children Unit will allow prosecutors to better coordinate their efforts with physicians and counselors and seek more resources to fight those crimes, District Attorney Michael Ramos said.
âWeâre doing a good job, but this is really going to enhance how we handle these cases,â Ramos said.
Those crimes have traditionally been handled as part of the district attorneyâs Family Violence Unit, but six prosecutors â" one for each regional office â" from that division are now part of the new unit.
Those prosecutors will handle what Ramos described as some of the most horrendous crimes heâs seen.
âWeâre talking about our children that are burned, tortured, (suffer) broken bones, head trauma,â Ramos said.
These are also some of the most difficult cases to prosecute because there are often no witnesses and some victims â" some too young to speak â" are unable to testify, he said.
He said itâs critical that prosecutors receive special training in handling such cases and work closely with law enforcement officers and physicians who examine the victims.
That includes a closer partnership with the countyâs Childrenâs Assessment Center in San Bernardino, where Ramos made the announcement Tuesday and provided a tour of the facility.
The center features interview and medical examination rooms where child victims are taken for evaluation. The rooms include child-size tables and chairs, toys, crayons, animal paintings on the wall and other features to make the environment more comforting for victims.
Dr. Amy Young, associate director of the center, said the new unit will allow forensic pediatricians to better communicate with prosecutors, knowing there is someone specially assigned to the case they can contact directly throughout the investigation and prosecution.
In 2011, the district attorneyâs office had 53 cases that would have fallen into the major crimes category handled by the new unit. So far this year, 32 such cases have been filed.
Some current cases that will now be part of the unit include a Barstow man charged with molesting and raping eight children over the past 25 years, including several family members. Another case involves a Fort Irwin soldier accused of abusing his 13-day-old infant resulting in 11 broken ribs, two broken legs and skull sutures.
Ramos said the new unit should send a message to those who commit crimes against children that they will be held accountable.
âYou do this in this county, weâre going to take you off the street,â he said. âYou will not harm our babies.â

The Daily Egg just had its 1st birthday. Let's peel back the curtain a bit and discuss what goes on behind the scenes with this business blog.
I have created a category called Blogging For Business and will be publishing some content on the act of building, running and measuring a business blog in that category.
Let's kick off this category by covering the most important aspect of business blogging — measurement.
Here are some important data points I monitor on The Daily Egg each month.
The lifeblood of any blog is its subscriber base. We use AWeber email software to distribute new articles to those that subscribe. We have a call-t0-action to subscribe via email at the top of the blog (this converts surprisingly well) as well as at the end of every post.
If you are reading this on our blog, look up. You should see this call-to-action at the top of the page.
And, at the end of every post, you will see this call-to-action,
In October, The Daily Egg picked up 233 new email subscribers and the call-to-action in the header actually outperformed the CTA at the end of every post. I was surprised, are you?
This isn't something I obsess over but I do monitor this once per month to make sure there aren't an alarming number of people unsubscribing to the list.
AWeber Open Rate
In October, the average open rate for our emails was 45%.
AWeber Click Rate
In October, the average click rate for our emails was 14%.
Subscribe Rate
This is the number of people that subscribed via AWeber divided by the number of unique visitors to the website.
This rate in October was .5%. There are some upcoming tests we will be performing that aim to increase this percentage.
The Basics, of course
These are some important but very high-level stats that I monitor weekly and take a deep dive into on a monthly basis.
The Daily Egg had 46,000 unique visitors in October. I also monitor:
- PageViews
- Pages/Visit
- Repeat Visit Rate
- Avg. Visit Duration
- Bounce Rate
Visits to CrazyEgg.com
For this data point, I move over to the analytics for the main Crazy Egg website. I am interested in knowing how many direct clicks are coming from The Daily Egg blog to the main website.
We currently have two obvious calls-to-action on the blog but occasionally we will also link to the main Crazy Egg website in a post — if it is relevant. We see traffic from these links plus our calls-to-action.
Free Trial Clicks
This is the number of clicks only on the Free Trial calls-to-action.
This CTA is currently in the header of the blog…
And this CTA is in the sidebar of the blog…
We will be testing the messaging and creative on these CTA's in the next month or so.
Free Trial Click Rate
This is the number of clicks on the Free Trial CTA's divided by the number of Unique Visitors.
Free Trial Sign-Ups
This is the number of direct sign ups for the Crazy Egg software from the The Daily Egg blog.
Overall Site Conversion Rate
This is the rate at which a site visitor takes either of our two primary conversion actions. It is the Free Trial Click Rate plus the Subscriber rate.
Facebook Fans
This is something that I have just begun measuring as we have begun an effort to be more present on Facebook over the last month. More on this later, in the meantime — give us a like on Facebook…. if you like. 🙂
Twitter Followers
We likes the Twitter. 🙂 Currently we are topping out at 10,667 followers. Let's connect over on Twitter if we haven't already.
Yep, I monitor our Klout score. Right now we have a score of 62. 🙂
What would you like to see?
So, that's it for the first "pull back the curtain" post. Would you like to see more posts like this? What would you like me to share?

Tooling Article
3D Design Keys Die Shops Survival and Success
3D Die Design in the Classroom |
It does that through a host of inhouse capabilities including design, heattreating, machining, waterjet cutting, prototyping and press tryout, with constant technology upgrades.
"You have to stay as current as possible," says Mike Korneli, BesTech president. "Many tool and die shops have gone by the side and staying current is how we've managed to survive. Opportunities in China are decreasing, costs are rising there and the Chinese currency is being adjusted in our favor, which means that U.S. tool and die shops can become more competitive. So we have to be leaner and smarter to take advantage of opportunities like this."
One BesTech works smarter is by fully adopting 3D die-design software, which helps the company meet increasingly stringent lead times demanded by customers.
"A number of years ago we looked at switching from 2D to 3D die design but at that time the technology was too slow to fully implement," Korneli recalls.
Two years ago, Korneli felt that 3D technology had developed enough, and the company selected Logopress3 3D die-design software, from LOGOPRESS provider Accurate Die Design, Inc., New Berlin, WI. At BesTech, progressive dies range from 10 to 15 stages carrying out a host of functions from deep drawing to partial drawing, to trimming and final forming, with some parts requiring extremely tight diameter tolerances. Dies produced by the company have varying heights and accept varying coil widths—including plenty of high-strength low-alloy material.
The software, operating within SolidWorks, features a strip module that its makers claim can easily create and modify the strip for difficult 3D-formed parts common in the automotive industry, and automates the creation of the skeleton/ carrier and stretch webs. Another important software feature: a time-saving tool-creation module, "since 80 to 90 percent or more of the time spent on a die design is spent after strip creation," says Ray Proeber, Accurate Die Design president.
"We see as much as a 20 percent reduction in lead time for tool design with Logopress3 within SolidWorks, as opposed to just using SolidWorks for design, which we still do on occasion," says Chad Aker, design supervisor at BesTech.
BesTech employs five seats of SolidWorks, with Logopress3 operating in two of those. One designer is fully versed in the new software with another undergoing training. Aker points to file structure and strip-layout functions as the main reasons for success in using the software.
"With Logopress3, our designers only have to worry about designing the tool, not about how to assemble it and how to place the 3D components, since the software handles that," he says. "And with material usage so critical, the software allows simple adjustment of strip progression and width, saving material and allowing us to modify strip in process without starting over."
These efficiencies carry over to die tryout.
"We notice much fewer slug-clearance issues," notes Aker, "and do not have to open up the dies during tryout to diagnose poor-quality parts." MF

Patio Dining at Obzeet in Far North Dallas
It's a restaurant, gift shop, and tropical bar, and it's a great place to spend an hour or two when the weather cooperates. So, I decided to celebrate the beautiful Dallas Fall weather with lunch on Obzeet's patio.
Obzeet is easy to miss as you're heading down Preston Road. It's exterior, although interesting, does nothing to indicate the existence of a tranquil, tree-shaded tropical patio in back.
The menu is extensive, featuring everything from light salads and appetizers to hearty sandwiches and lasagna to coffee and desserts. In the mood for something on the lighter side, I went with the Avocado Tuna Salad.
What can I say? I enjoyed my salad, soaked up some warm rays, contemplated existence, and watched people. Only a couple of beers would have made the experience better.

This is not a joke. I know every April Fools' joke starts off that way, but as promised, Microsoft revealed its special one day Spring Sale. While the Xbox LIVE Spring Sale technically began last week with a slew of discounted Xbox 360 DLC, today we see several more downloadable content packs discounted. I'm not sure what makes these so special, but for whatever reason they are only available today. As for the other items on sale, that ends today as well.


text: Iowa Man Accused Of Drunk Driving, Fighting Police While NakedSamer Kalaf11/28/13 3:15pmFiled to: police blotteriowa361EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Matthew Roberts from Iowa City, Iowa, was arrested Tuesday morning after fleeing the scene of a car crash.

Jason Robinson ran in a hat-trick as England outscored the Azzurri 7-0 on tries, with Iain Balshaw, Josh Lewsey, Paul Grayson and substitute back row forward Chris Jones - who celebrated his England debut with the final scoring act - also going over.
"England are an incredibly complete team, and I thought that Paul Grayson had an outstanding game at fly-half." Kirwan said.
"When one player goes out another player comes into the team and takes his chance. It was a fantastically disciplined performance by England and they demonstrated why they are world champions.
"When you play against England you cannot make silly mistakes. The scoreline was too heavy, and we will definitely have to improve."
England's emphatic success underlined their status as clear favourites to land a second succession RBS 6 Nations crown, and asked how anyone could stop them Kirwan replied: "Maybe with a bazooka!
"Teams that play against them will need to hang on to the ball and try to move it around, but the beauty of England, is that they have about four different game plans.
"If you can recycle the ball quickly against them and go wide then you can make a game of it, but if you make too many errors, then you will concede 50 points."
Italy now face a daunting trip to Paris next Saturday, where World Cup semi-finalists France await them, but with a home game still to come against Scotland next month the wooden spoon might be eluded.
"This weekend, there have been great performances by France, Wales and now England, but this is only the beginning of the tournament and we can definitely improve," Kirwan added.
"We need to cut down on our errors, but we are looking forward to going to Paris."

Angelique Kerber's Cincinnati Blog: Sunday
Published August 19, 2012 12:00
CINCINNATI, OH, USA - It has been a dream last 12 months for Angelique Kerber, going from outside the Top 100 last summer to now firmly established in the Top 10. She has the most match wins on the WTA this season and now writes her very first WTA Player Blog from the Western & Southern Open.
Sunday, August 19, 2012
One last time from Cincinnati... hello everyone!
Well, it was a tough match. I didn't have too much time to rest before the final, but I really tried everything I could today - it just wasn't enough. Li Na was playing so well, especially the last set. My goal was to give everything I had and I think I did that - she just got better and better during the match. There can only be one winner and one loser in a match, and runner-up isn't too bad :)
I can take positives from the week for sure. I know I'm playing very well right now and can beat the players ahead of me - my best moment of the week was my win over Serena, it was a very special moment for me. It was my first final at such a big tournament, too (and hopefully not my last one!) And also I really enjoyed my stay here in Cincinnati. I really had a great time this week.
Another thing I was happy about was Roger winning the men's title here today. I was cheering for him! I was a little bit shocked when I came to the site and saw it was 6-0 in the first set - I'm not sure what happened, I didn't see the first set... but it was a really good match in the second set. Roger played very well here - he went for the title and took it. Congratulations to you Roger!
After the press conference me and my coach gave Cincy a proper goodbye...
WE WENT TO KINGS ISLAND! It's the amusement park nearby. It was closing at 8 o'clock, and my coach said, 'Let's do this, let's really say goodbye to Cincinnati!' So we rushed and got there at 7:45, and because we only had 10 or 15 minutes we ran to the Drop Tower. I don't know how many meters we went up, but we saw all of Cincinnati from up there! Then it fell down!! It was fun!
So now I'm going to Dallas and I hope to get some more matches there. I'm really looking forward to New York - doing well there is my biggest goal.
Thank you everybody for reading my blog! I really, really enjoyed doing it. For sure I will do it again. And you can keep up with me on my website until then!
Until next time :)
How strong are your ties to Poland? Natalia, Poland
I'm actually in Poland a lot! Whenever I have a break from the tour I go to Germany but also to Poland, because my grandparents are there, also one part of my family - actually everyone is there except my parents! And they're originally from Poland too. Also our tennis academy is there, Centrum Tenisowe Angie. Whenever I go to Poland that's where I'm training.

TUAW reader Vince Patton provided us with several links to videos that he's uploading to YouTube. Patton's father had saved a VHS tape of a talk made by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak to the Denver Apple Pi computer club at the Colorado School of Mines on October 4, 1984, which Vince uncovered and is digitizing, cleaning up and uploading to YouTube for posterity.
Among the gems on Patton's YouTube channel is Woz leading the attendees in the "Pledge of Apple Allegiance," which you can watch below. Another fascinating bit shows Randy Wigginton, Apple employee #6 and a key member of the original Macintosh team, telling the story of how the Finder software couldn't even copy a disk just four hours before the deadline for shipping the initial Mac software.
Many thanks to Patton for doing such an incredible job of preserving these wonderful pieces of Apple history.

This unique little piece ($120 at this Etsy shop) comes in a rainbow of hues: green, red, orange, yellow, blue and white, and black. At about nine inches long, four inches high and an inch long, it won't fit a ton of stuff, but it's a fun playful little tote to carry if you're going out.

Maren Schmidt, Kids Talk
Maren Schmidt's "Kids Talk" column appears Tuesdays in the Craig Daily Press.
As parents and teachers, we are concerned about doing the right things with our children. When our children go through difficult periods, we can spend nights tossing and turning about what can be the matter.
As our tools can be friend or foe, depending on how we use them, it can be helpful if we understand the innate development characteristics of children younger than the age of seven.
Children are born with special affinities that aid their development. During the next few weeks we will be examining these characteristics of the young child that help us know that a child is following normal development or is encountering difficulties where adult help is necessary.
Children who are on-track with their development display all or most of the following: love of order, love of work, deep spontaneous concentration, attachment to reality, love of silence and working alone, sublimation of the possessive instinct, power to act from real choice not just curiosity or impulsivity, trust and obedience, independence and initiative, as well as spontaneous self-discipline.
The young child possesses a love of order that adults sometimes trample all over because, as we become older, this sensitivity is less central to our lives and learning. Learning success for the young child, though, depends on this connection and understanding of order.
Brain research is showing that during the first six years of life, the neural matter of the brain is growing at a tremendous rate. The brain creates neural pathways with the sensory information it is acquiring. We might liken this process to a footpath being created at a new school by students walking across campus. The most direct paths are created during time becoming, wider, deeper and at some point are paved to make clear connections between buildings.
As certain sensory pathways are trod in the brain, future access is being almost guaranteed by the children's repetition of experiences, driven by a love of order.
Classification of objects and experiences in the child's environment also are forming.
Making connections of similar qualities among objects is an important skill for adult thinking. Examples of the types of classifications the children are making follow: These are wooden objects. These are all the items we need to bake a cake. These are all the materials we need to build a house.
Adults who lack critical thinking skills also do not have an ability to classify objects effectively.
It is the child's innate sense for finding and creating order that helps build later logical thinking.
As adults, we disrupt a child's sense of order mainly by being unaware of this order, by changing the child's environment, which includes people as well as objects, and by not giving the child enough time to explore and orient him or herself.
For the child with a strong sense of order changing a seemingly insignificant object in the child's environment may create great anxiety. Rearranging the dining room furniture might provoke a crying jag in a 2-year-old. When we are aware of the child's sense of order, we can be on the lookout for behavioral changes and try to connect them to changes in the child's surroundings. Mom or Dad wearing a new outfit or new cologne may be enough to put a 3-year-old out of sorts.
Not having enough time to explore and orient themselves can prevent our children from tapping into their inborn sense of order that promotes positive brain development. Being taken from event to event or being distracted from exploration through TV or computer usage are but a few of the many ways we disrupt our children's sense of order.
Help your child's natural development by being aware of the importance of the child's innate love of order.

It's easy to feel alone when times are tough or you are afraid, but God is always with you listening to your prayers! These two beloved Hermie & Friends stories illustrate God's constant love for us.
In Webster, the Scaredy Spider, an easily frightened spider named Webster learns that he can be brave because God is always with him. Webster is scared of everything, and everyone is scared of him because he is a spider! So when Webster arrives in the garden, all of the bugs learn that they can be brave when they trust in God. And they discover that sometimes things that frighten you turn out not to be scary at all once you face your fears!
In Stanley the Stinkbug Goes to Camp, all of the bugs in the garden learn to embrace each other's differences, no matter how strange or stinky they may be! When Stanley the Stinkbug arrives at camp, it becomes evident pretty quickly that he's not like the other bugs—he stinks! But once Hermie and his friends realize that Stanley stinks because he's scared of being around new people, they help him feel more comfortable and remind him to trust in God when he feels afraid.

Building A Design Wall |
Design Wall: 4'x 8'
Materials and Supplies:
4'x 8' sheet of building board
Twin-size flat white flannel bed sheet
Staple gun and 3/8" staples
10-12 1 1/2" deck or dry wall screws
10-12 1/2" washers
Two helpers
Making mock-up blocksis the best way to see how individual fabrics work as patches in relation to each other. If color distribution from block to block is important or if color position is important before sewing, a design wall is almost indispensible. Resolving design issues is so much better when you can combine and then view various quilt elements from a distance.
The design wall described here was made by several of us for our Quiltmaker's Design Studio, where most fabric choices are made for the Quiltmaker quilts that we have sewn. This permanently installed, flannel--covered wall is inexpensive, easy to construct and durable. The flannel holds patches in place for weeks--or months if you need it to-and the strong, porous board easily accepts pins for paper displays and heavier mountings.
Ideally your design wall should be in the same room as your fabric, cutting table and sewing machine, but if this is not possible any available wall is better than none!
A fiber board called building board, 4'x 8', 1/2" thick and white on one side, is available at many building supply stores. (Cost in the Denver area is approximately $11.) If you need a smaller size, perhaps the store will cut it for a small fee.
Trim off the wide hem at the top of the flannel sheet along the seam line. (It may now look too short for the board, but the flannel will easily stretch over to the back.)
Spread the sheet out on a large, flat, clean surface. Place the fiber board, white side down, approximately two inches in from one corner.
Working from the center of one short end of the board, pull the edge of the flannel sheet over the fiber board to the back, extending one to two inches, and staple down. Continuing toward each corner, staple the flannel every two inches. Stop six inches from each corner.
Move to the opposite end. Again beginning in the center, pull the flannel toward you from underneath the board until it is taut and then staple it to the back. Continue as you did for the first side. You may now wish to trim away extra flannel to eliminate the bulk.
Staple the two longer sides in the same way, trimming away extra flannel from the back as necessary.
At each corner, fold as shown and staple several times to flatten and secure.
On the wall of the room, measure and mark the height for the design wall in several places. Locate the studs and lightly mark each location above this level. Thread washers onto the screws.
It's time for your helpers. With two people holding the design wall in position, screw through the flannel, building board and wall into the studs to hold one corner in place. Level the board and complete the installation with additional screws along the top and bottom of the board at the stud locations.
Now you can put patches or quilt blocks on the flannel surface and study the color distribution. Can't decide? Look again tomorrow, shift a few, check back two days later. Your fabrics will be there, waiting on the design wall, until you're ready to sew them all together.

REPORT: Lions Go Bragh
Onward State is reporting today that Penn State will open the 2014 season against Central Florida in Dublin, Ireland.
The student publication says the university will officially announce the game on July 14, but whenever it happens, it is clear this has been in the works for a long time between the Central Florida and Penn State staffs. Whispers that this was going to be announced soon have been circulating the last several days.
This is going to be Central Florida's home game, but really, it's the reward to the Penn State players who stuck with the program during its most uncertain times — as well as the players who joined the team despite the NCAA sanctions for the findings of the Freeh Report.
It's a game that makes sense for both programs. Penn State is an international name that will draw a crowd, and Central Florida needs that extra bit of exposure to push an already solid program to the next level. Plus, Bill O'Brien and George O'Leary are clearly Irish. So that will be of some interest to the local crowd in Dublin.
Penn State owes a huge debt of gratitude to Central Florida for this, by the way. It's their home game. It's their headache to organize all of the details. And Penn State couldn't have hosted an overseas game because they need the money they generate at Beaver Stadium seven or eight times per year. They were very fortunate to find as willing a partner as they did in this.
UPDATE: The Orlando Sentinel is reporting through their sources that the game is official.

Hi, this is in relation to a post I just made in the memory profiler forum about tracking GDI object leaks.
it would be rather cool if in Performance you could track GDI counts, and perhaps any other windows performance counter while I think about it, at the point of execution of code. GDI could be done almost instruction by instruction, the performance counters probably not, but I can see some real use for that.
And if it is already in there, do point me to the option

Brad Pitt Cleans Up His Look For 2014 With New Military Haircut
If one of your New Year Resolutions was to rehash your childhood crush on Brad Pitt, you're in luck. The A-list heartthrob debuted a clean-cut new look at the Producers Guild Awards over the weekend, though he's quick to attest that he didn't do it for our vocal swoonings.
US Weekly reports today's most important news item:
"It's for a part," Pitt, 49, told E! News at the Producers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills, where the new 'do looked pretty much perfect with his tuxedo. "It's not a choice!" Indeed, the military-inspired look is for his WWII role opposite Shia LaBeouf and others in Fury, which has been shooting in the UK.
So, Instincters, heart or hate Brad's new look?
Brad pitt looks so cool and gorgeous with this hairstyle trends.Great and nice sharing according to hairstyles 2014 .
I really like it. The long hair made him look older.
That is his natural color...
Looks good but not his natural colour...he should go back to being blonde!!
Brad has always been handsome to me.
i'd like something in between....his best look was Mrs and Mr smith..his best body was Troy. love him and Angie.
Love it. I'm over him looking like something that lives under a bridge awaiting to devour the Billy Goats Gruff.
Just as long as I get to look at Brad Pitt!
At least he has hair
