Saturday produced some great cloud cover and with it the first good baetis hatches of the year on the Yellowstone and Lower Madison. Kevin Guettler was on the Lower and caught 9 or 10 on top in less than two hours on top. Cloudy days should produce awesome dry fly fishing for the next two months!
Spring creeks are also getting better by the day. Five of us hit the spring creeks on Sunday and fishing was very good. There already a lot of river fish moving in from the Yellowstone. In one good spawning riffle we spotted 40 or 50 bows in the 15-20" range. Most of the fishing was still on nymphs as it was bright and sunny with egg patterns and midges bringing most of the fish.
We had a 5 boat trip out on the Yellowstone yesterday. A ton of fun with a few dads and a bunch of kids ranging from 8-14 years. Everyone caught fish and had a blast. All of the trout were still holding in the slower water with just a bit of current.
