Trout on the Flats!

August 28-29, 2020   I seem to be back on track after the week hiatus from fishing.  It had stuff to catch up on and it was super dang hot.  But things have changed.  Though midday temps are still high, the evening temperatures have dropped and its time to light a campfire (where legal) and … Read more

Hebgen Lake at its Peak!

Laying Low Through the Dog Days of August

Been laying low.  I haven’t picked up a rod in a week.  Its not like I haven’t wanted to hit the water but it’s been insanely hot for the Yellowstone Country with temps topping 90°s for a straight week.  I definitely don’t want to mess with my local trout from the rivers in this heat.  … Read more

Steamy Hot on the Teton

Not every fishing day has to be hardcore.  At least I try to tell myself that from time to time.  Today I succeeded in less casting and more kicking back.  I rowed my lady down the Teton River.  It was 87° and windless.  Luckily our six pack of Rainier was icy cold in our Yeti … Read more
