Weather:
|
The actual temperature has not been bad, but there has been some healthy gusts (Big Surrprise). The forecast is calling for more of the same for the next few days. The upside is that there will not be many people on the water. |
|
Hatches/Events:
|
The midges don't seem to be bothered by the wind. There are some good midge hatches along with plenty of scuds in the water. |
|
Fly patterns:
|
#14-16 Ultra scud (pink, olv), CDC scud (amber, rust), purpleback scud, #16-18 ray charles (tan, pink), #20-22 greg's emerger (blk), uv midge, #18-20 pulsating emerger, #24 disco midge, #20-22 split foam back. |
|
Techniques:
|
Dead drift your favorite scud pattern with a trailing midge. It is important to get your indicator the right distance from your fly or you will miss strikes and/or foul hook some fish. Key |
|
Fishing forecast:
|
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'.
