Emerald Grayling

Fished Emerald Lake today. Nice hike and good fishing.  Cork enjoyed it too.  Caught my share of grayling today with an ant.  I also had a first at Emerald Lake catching a West Slope Cutthroat I believe.  It was a wet hike down with continuous thunder and lighting.

Mouth Full of Chubby

Rainbow with Chubby

Summer is finally here in Montana!  Here are a few pictures of my last weekend journey on the Yellowstone just inside the Park.  The Salmon fly hatch has been awesome this year on the Yellowstone with the water shaping up perfect for fishing.  I have been floating the last week just above Yankee Jim and just below as well with great fishing.  I have been using a golden brown chubby with a little yellow sally stimi trailing behind with great success.  We should transition perfectly from the stonefly hatches to hopper season within the next couple weeks if not now.  I'll be in Truckee next week for some mid-summer fishing, probably going to be a morning and evening thing. 


This stretch was very good.
