May 28, 2009 - Steve Hoovler

Bright blue skies, big fluffy "Simpson's" clouds, and warm temps continue to dominate our weather in Yellowstone Country. And, the forecast looks like more of te same for the next several days.

These aren't great conditions for PMD's on the Firefox. So, I spent the day working on my summer fly arsenal. Rubberlegs with just the right amount of weight. Prince Nymphs that weren't tied in "Malousy", and loose their biots after the first cast. Sparkle Duns that float.

By the evening my back and my eyes were shot. So, Sara and I headed out to Hebgen to check on the evening midge action. When we arrived at Rumbaugh, there were a few random fish rising and several nice ones cruising the bank. As the sun set over Lionshead more and more fish rose, and we had a nice little dry fly session right before dark.

This midge fishing in the mornings and evenings will continue for the next month! Stay Tuned.
