Summer Fishing is finally here!!

The Bugs we are use to fishing on the Madison below Quake are finally working. Hoppers, Ants, Bees, Beatles, Wullfs, and Trudes are bringing good fish up on a regular basis. The world famous caddis hatch is going strong every evening and yellow sallies are hatching everyday.
The Park is also fishing very well! The Yellowstone below the Grand Canyon is a good bet. The Gardner River has a bunch of golden stones as well as little olives. Slough and Soda Butte is bound to be a fun trip. All these rivers will fish well with terrestrials. For a fun adventure try hiking some of the small creeks inside the park, they all have fish in them!
The Gallatin and Lamar Rivers are more of a gamble, not because they haven't been fishing well but because all the rain we are having is really keeping them off color. If you happen to see them clear I would fish them because it might be your only chance this year.
No Spruce Moths yet this year!

Good Fishing

Golden Stones

Hey everyone sorry it has been a few days since I got on here. For all the people that I have guided in the last few weeks you will be happy to know that my car exhaust is now fixed!!

The Madison salmon fly hatch is going strong but the fish seem to be looking for the Golden Stones. The hatch is a little spotty this year and the ighest upstream I have seen bugs is 5 Rock Island. There are a bunch of caddis and PMDs comming off everday as well.

Brian from the shop and I went up to the Gallatin the other day and beat up the trout on golden stones. We put the boat in and floaated for only about 2 miles. You can't fish from the boat on the Gallatin so we got out and fished around gravel bars and good rock ledges.

Small creeks are the ticket in the Park. The northeast is blown out and the Firehole is getting HOT (temp not action).
