July 1, Back to the Big Hole!

We had so much fun on the Big Hole last week we decided to go back and do it again. Yesterday we floated up high in the slower Brook Trout water and found that our little Char friend lives there in big numbers and willing to try to eat bugs bigger than their mouths would allow. The bug of the day was a size 12 yellow Stimulator with a Soft Hackle trailing about 2' behind in the film. Late in the day rain clouds moved in making for happy trout and perfect conditions for ripping streamers....So I did. The fish in the picture fell for a yellow Cone headed Madonna stripped just off of the bank.

If you go....

Bugs to look for- PMD, Yellow Sally, Golden Stone, Salmon Flies, and Caddis.

Patterns- Para-PMD, PMD soft hackle, Military Nymph, Iron Sally, Yellow stimulator, Para-Caddis.
