A Rainy day on the Jellystone

I headed to the Yellowstone river on Wednesday with Ty to try our luck at finding some hungry fish in the high water. The water level was pretty high still, but the water was green and had good visibility. As soon as we put the boat in the water it started to rain, and it didn't quit until we reached the take out. As miserable as it was, the rain brought out a huge caddis and PMD hatch, and the fish started to feed. With the water running fast, the fish were up right against the bank eating the caddis pupa as they hatched. We had good luck with green caddis pupa, green copper john's, and olive soft hackles. We found some fish feeding on the surface in the slow moving eddies, and had some strikes on a tan caddis, size 14 or 16, but most of the action was sub-surface. The water levels are dropping every day so plan some time to get out and catch some river monsters!
