The fishing will continue to be good partly because there is so much food available to the fish. The water clarity is as good as it gets for the reef. This time of year check the weather forcast when planning a trip to WY.

Comments/Tips:
There are some lulls in the day. It is important to switch out some of your flies when you recognize the slow down.

There are some nice improvements to the upper section of the river. Look for the new parking lot at the Second Cable between the Dam and Outhouse. Also, if you have not been to Outhouse Hole recently it has been gutted and looks almost too nice to continue to call it 'Outhouse'.
