June 11, 2008 - Steve Hoovler

Madison%20River%20Brown%20Trout.jpgDry fly fishing remains consistent on the "fifty mile riffle". I floated today with Bill and Joan McQueen from Pasadena. We had a great time fishing a variety of dry flies, but a size 16 Royal Wulff Cripple took the cake this afternoon. Salmonflies have been spotty, and the fish that want a salmonfly have been even more inconsistent. Bill did feed two good browns an adult salmonfly right off the bat this morning, but that was our only action on the big bug.

Thanks for another great float, guys. I'm looking forward to seeing you again in September.

Our weather has been terrific lately. Cold evenings and warm days. Highs have been in the upper 70's and low 80's. Winds have been moderate. The forecast through this week calls for more of the same. Maybe we can sneak out of July without seeing the nuclear temps that we've had the last few years. Keep your fingers crossed.
