School is back in session, and it’s been a nice quiet change in the Valley this week. The feeling of Fall has been drifting around especially with the variable weather conditions we have had this past week. We still have some Summer left and the Ants, Nocturnals, Hoppers and Caddis in the evening is the name of the game!
Streamflows this past week stayed consistent at 1,100cfs@Kirby and 1,200cfs@Cameron. These flows are just perfect this time of the year to float, find the fish and have an incredible time!
The Dry game has still been phenomenal with lots of action and some larger Trout mixed in (if you can get ’em); a Dry/Dropper set up has been a favorite. The Worm with a trailing Jig Hook Nymph has been strong this August. We are still waiting for the Streamer game to come any day now, especially with cooler nights predicted in the future.
As always the pictures tell the best stories, especially those big smiles! Here at Beartooth Flyfishing we are open 7AM to 6PM serving the best free coffee in the Valley, the best selection of Flies and the greatest tales to go along with them! Come on by and let us help you have the best adventure possible!
